Now, I don’t like saying this because Giggs at his best is probably the > player I’ve seen play regularly in my time following the game. Others may have been better in that time (very few though) but from what I saw, he was in a league of his own. (although given time, Ronaldo will likely become the > career player)
And to be fair, when that was probably wasn’t even his best.
So, he’s obviously a legend and arguably Manchester United’s best player over the incredible period of dominance. (imo, he is)
But right now, of the three of those such players remaining (Neville and Scholes the two others) he looks like the first requiring the fork treatment.
I hope not.
And hopefully he finds something again, as he did when he looked finished before last season.
But I doubt it.
He’s obviously well past his peak age, lacking pace and because of that the trickery just isn’t there/effective.
He’s not a liability yet but he’s not far away from being true.
It’s very sad to see such a legend on the way out and I can imagine especially so for Manchester United fans who have followed his career closely over the journey.
How long as a first team Manchester United player (which he still is, despite the depth and rotation) does he have left?
