Arsenal hero Keown: Giggs offers Man Utd more than Mata

Arsenal hero Martin Keown feels Ryan Giggs proved himself for Manchester United in victory over Olympiakos.

Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "He might not have started a match for nearly two months, but Ryan Giggs made a difference on Wednesday night.

"With a deep-lying midfielder next to him to offer protection, Giggs has the vision and the skill to pick out a pass and get United moving.

"He had a good game and offered United better balance than Juan Mata did against Liverpool. Mata is a fine player but can overrun things whereas Giggs was not afraid to go direct."
