Ryan Giggs has admitted that it feels a bit strange

June 16, 2015 – 10:58 am

Former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs has admitted that it feels a bit strange to be celebrating only finishing in the top four.

The Welsh winger is used to winning numerous titles with United, but the club were extremely overjoyed at finishing back in the top four once again. From a commercial point of view, it is extremely important that United return to the Champions League. Further, it would also help them attract top players who would then be the basis behind winning league titles. After having secured such an important proposition, United have breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet, Giggs feels that United should be more focused on winning titles in the future rather than just finishing in the top four. Giggs won an incredible 34 titles during his time at United in addition to numerous individual accolades. The club are expected to be challenging for the title from next season, but it will be very difficult with rivals like Manchester City and Arsenal also strengthening. Chelsea have one of the best squads in the league and they will be tough to catch as ever. Speaking at the end of the season awards, Giggs says that he wants United to be challenging for titles sooner rather than later. read more »

Jose Mourinho has accepted that it will be difficult

April 8, 2015 – 5:13 pm

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has accepted that it will be difficult to follow Manchester United out of the title race this season.

A brilliant second half of the campaign has seen United close to within 10 points of Chelsea at the top of the table. Recent back-to-back defeats for Liverpool has meant that United are now closer towards securing a top four spot, which will leave them to concentrate on other matters like winning the title. After having won the title in numerous league, Louis Van Gaal always had the potential to turn this United team around according to Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho, though, will remain confident about his team’s own chances of lifting the first league title since 2010. The blues hold a six-point advantage over Manchester City, but it can be increased to nine points before Manuel Pellegrini’s men take to the field against Crystal Palace on Monday night. Chelsea are up against Stoke City at home whereas United will be having a potential banana skin in the form of a home match against Aston Villa, who have appeared resurgent under new manager Tim Sherwood. United have won the last four league matches and have displayed a strong surge in confidence during this period. read more »
