Ryan Giggs has sounded a warning to Chelsea, insisting he is in
the form of his life at Manchester United this season.
The Welsh winger has been integral to United's title push so far in
this, his 16th season at Old Trafford.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side have won 14 out of their 18 games thus
far, as United's most decorated player has moved second only to Sir
Bobby Charlton in the club's all-time record number of appearances
chart.
Despite turning 33 at the end of November, Giggs says he could not
be happier with the form he has shown so far.
"Consistency-wise I think I'm in the best form of my life and I'm
really enjoying it, perhaps more than ever," he told the club's
website.
"I didn't think I'd be playing as many games this season but Park
Ji-Sung got injured and I've been forced to play every week,
really.
"I'm sure throughout the season I'll be rested on several occasions
- I want to play every game but as you get older you simply can't.
You just want to be as fresh and effective as possible when you do
play."
Despite dropping three points in the shock 1-0 defeat to West Ham
United on Sunday, Giggs is convinced United's squad have what it
takes to succeed this term.
"It's a good mixture of experience and youth - it's exciting to be
involved in at the moment," he continued.
"I think everyone was geared up to get off to a good start after
the bad ones we've had in the previous couple of seasons.
"We've ended up playing catch-up with Chelsea and the leads they
have had have been too big. But we ended last season strongly,
we've picked up from there and carried on where we left off."
Giggs says Cristiano Ronaldo's ever-maturing displays have been
another important factor, but insists the impact of Paul Scholes'
return cannot be underestimated.
"Having Scholesy back has been a massive boost. He gives you so
much in midfield; he gives you goals, creativity, he controls a
game with his passing - there's no other midfielder like him,"
Giggs added.
"His brain is quicker than everyone else's - no-one can catch him.
He makes time with his touch and skill and no matter how much
quicker the game gets, he'll always be ahead of it."
United will need their blend of experience and youth to continue
blossoming, as they look to continue the tile push away against
Aston Villa on Saturday.
