Giggs: My role in the team has now changed
Ryan Giggs has revealed the extent to which his role in the Manchester United team has changed over the years.
The Welshman has long been one of United’s most exciting players, with blistering pace and fancy footwork.
He would reap the benefits of the passing ability of the likes of Paul Scholes and David Beckham, but now classes himself as a creator rather than a runner.
“I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded with good players throughout my career,” he told Esquire magazine.
“In my younger days when I was quicker, if Eric got the ball I’d make a run. If Scholesy got the ball, I’d make a run. If Becks got the ball, I’d make a run. I knew they could deliver a pass. Now, it’s the other way around because I deliver to the other players.”
Giggs also praised team mate Wayne Rooney who is currently in the form of his career.
“If Wayne makes a run, I know where he is going more often than not because he’s such an intelligent player. He shows me where to put the ball, rather than the other way round.
“He’s got unbelievable physical attributes. He’s strong, he’s quick but he’s also a very clever footballer.”

He is still making a couple key runs though as well and finding himself in excellent positions. Been a joy to watch him rejuvenate his career by adapting another style.
