Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs says the club are hungry to regain the Premier League title this season from champions Manchester City.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side relinquished the league crown on the final day of last season, and Giggs feels the heartache they suffered has made them more focused on putting things right this season.
“The lads can’t wait to produce some of the football that we did last year,” the veteran Welshman told Key103.
“What happened last season was tough for everyone but you just have to come back in the right manner, which is what we hope to do.
“It is going to be tough because there are a lot of quality teams out there but you are always determined. We want to get it back.”
And with the addition and swift integration both Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie have shown, it has provided the Old Trafford outfit with a welcome boost so far this campaign.
“You hope the big players that you sign fit in straight away. Sometimes it doesn’t happen. With Shinji and Robin it has happened straight away, which is great,” Giggs said.
“It gives everyone a lift in the squad. Training is a lot sharper and we are all fighting for places, which is what you want.
“It just ups the performance level.”
Should Giggs feature against Wigan on Saturday, he will make his 600th Premier league appearance for United.
