Giggs convinced Man Utd ace Berbatov can become even better

Ryan Giggs can see Manchester United teammate Dimitar Berbatov becoming an even greater scoring threat.

With three hat-tricks already - including five against Blackburn - the 30-year-old has just about dispelled any doubts that he can cut it at Old Trafford - and Giggs believes he has the confidence to go onto even greater heights at the club.

"I think he's been playing just as well as he has since he came to the club," the Welshman told the Manchester Evening News.

"The main difference is that he's scoring goals.

"Ultimately that is what everyone from the outside looks at when you are playing up front. And he's producing.

"Goal-scorers often do it. They might not play well for 90 minutes, but score a goal and that's all that anyone remembers.

"That's all that people are interested in - it doesn't matter as long as he scores. I think he's played just as well in the last two seasons, but he got off to such an unbelievable start scoring goals.

"That gives you confidence and you can see that within his play.

"When you are scoring goals as a centre forward you do act differently. You've got that confidence, that swagger and it's good to see."
