Giggsy aiming for 10 in a row

Ryan Giggs wants winning run United’s record this season makes for pretty poor reading. Played 8 – won 2 – lost 2 – drawn 4. Hardly the sort of form that wins trophies. That said, United have got some of their most difficult encounters out of the way having played away to Liverpool, Chelsea and Portsmouth already in the league and taking four points. But after the draw away to Chelsea and Tuesday’s comfortable home win over Middlesbrough in the League Cup, Ryan Giggs believes United have turned a corner and the team can push on to go on a run of unbeaten games.

“It was a tough start, there’s no doubting that,” Giggs told MUTV. “We didn’t play well at the beginning of the season, but over the last week or so – against Villarreal, and at Chelsea in the first half especially, then tonight (23/09/08 vs Middlesbrough) – we’ve showed some really good stuff.

“We’ve got a really strong squad. A lot of the players perhaps haven’t played games in the last few weeks, but they got that game time tonight. This team’s capable of going on a winning run of 10 games. Hopefully that’s started and we can carry it on against Bolton.”

United’s next match is at home to Bolton followed by trips to Aalborg and Blackburn and then home ties against West Brom and Celtic. All matches we should be capable of winning so let’s hope Giggsy is right!
