Chelsea vs Manchester United: “P****d Off” Ryan Giggs Aiming For Revenge

Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs has revealed that he was “p****d off” at seeing Chelsea winning the double last year. As he prepares to celebrate exactly 20 years as a Red Devil, he’s thinking of revenge.

This season, Manchester United’s chances of winning the English Premier League are much brighter than they were last term. The Red Devils seat 4 points clear at the top of the table and they have a 15-point lead above Chelsea who are only in 5th position.

With a victory tonight, Manchester United will not only boost their English Premier League title hopes but also dent Chelsea’s Champions League zone finish aspirations. After enduring the 2009/2010 season in the shadow of the Blues on the domestic front, this is exactly what Ryan Giggs wants to happen. The Manchester United wants the Red Devils to show dominance and to have no mercy on tonight’s hosts as he aims for a sweet revenge.

In an interview with English media The Sun, the midfielder revealed the torture which he went through last season following Chelsea’s title triumph. He added that he was still title-hungry despite reaching a milestone of 20 years as a Manchester United footballer.

“I don't think about the titles that I've won. I just look at the future,” Giggs declared.

“Last year, for example, when Chelsea won the Double... it winds you up. You don't want it to happen again. You don't want to feel like you did last summer.

“You want to feel like the year before when you won the league. It's not the fear of failure. It's just craving that feeling of winning the title.

“We lost by one point last year and it stays with you. You go on holiday, trying to enjoy yourself with the kids, and you do...

“But then you have a quiet moment. It comes back to you what happened and... I'll say it: you're p****d off. You're on holiday and you're just p****d off.”

20 years ago, Ryan Giggs suffered a 2-0 defeat against Everton as he made his league debut for Manchester United. Tonight, the 37-year-old veteran is determined to avoid such a result against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
