Giggs admits over reliance on Wayne Rooney

Ryan Giggs has admitted that Manchester United cannot afford to rely too heavily on Wayne Rooney next season if they’re to reclaim their title.

The Old Trafford club lost their Premier League crown this weekend,following a season dogged by injuries and an over reliance on Wayne Rooney to provide the goals.

United winger Giggs believes they need to share the goals around the team if they’re going to succeed next season.

We need to be scoring more goals from different areas and from different players, even though as a team we scored more than we did last season.

‘We were also better defensively this season than last, but we can’t rely on Wayne as much as we have done this season in terms of goals.

‘It was unfortunate for us that Wayne got injured at a really important part of the season, because we’d relied on his goals more or less throughout it. So to get to the business part of the season and not have him, then to have him for one game without him having really trained, wasn’t ideal.

‘But whether the manager does or doesn’t bring in any other strikers this summer, the other players know we need to score more. Whether that’s defenders coming up for corners or midfielders chipping in, we all need to contribute a lot more.’
