Ryan Giggs

Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs has spoken about his changing relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, from trying to avoid him as a youngster to now being sought for advice.

Giggs is quoted in The Sun saying,"My relationship with him is different.

"When I first met him, I was 13. For the next 10 years you try to keep out of the way.

"That's particularly the case when you've had a bad game.

"But he asks your advice more now than when you were a younger player.

"You have that experience, you're in the changing room day in, day out."

Giggs holds the all-time record for the most appearances for Manchester United and is beginning his twenty first season at Old Trafford.  By getting on the scoresheet against Newcastle United on Sunday, Giggs ensured he has scored in every one of those campaigns.

Giggs also revealed that Sir Alex is as hungry as ever for success at Manchester United , commenting,

"Don't go thinking the desire and the hunger are no longer there.

"He still wants to win and still hates losing."
