Ryan Giggs says United only have themselves to blame following
their Champions League defeat to Celtic.
The result means the Reds need at least a point from their final
Group F match at home to Benfica on 6 December to ensure
qualification for the knockout stages.
Despite dominating proceedings at Celtic Park, the Reds failed to
take their chances and were made to pay by a superb free-kick from
Shunsuke Nakamura nine minutes from time.
"We only have ourselves to blame," Giggs told MUTV. "We had a lot
of the ball and we had the chances. Celtic hardly got our of their
own half in the first half.
"But when you are on top, you have to take your opportunities and
we did not do that."
United were handed a lifeline in the dying seconds of the match
when referee Mejuto Gonzalez pointed to the spot following a hand
ball by substitute Shaun Maloney.
However, Louis Saha's subsequent penalty was brilliantly saved by
Celtic's Polish keeper Artur Boruc.
"It was unfortunate for Louis but we should have had the game
wrapped up long before then anyway," insisted the Welsh winger.
"Now we have to play Benfica again.
"It won't be easy, we are aware of that. But maybe one thing in our
favour is that we know Benfica have to win, so they will have to
come out and attack us.
"But we are at home and we know what we have to do. Hopefully we
can," he added.
