Giggs explains not celebrating Man Utd winner at Newcastle

Manchester United No2 Ryan Giggs has explained his stony faced expression to their winner at Newcastle United. Despite Louis van Gaal turning to Giggs in delight following the goal, the Welshman appeared to give LVG an emotionless, steely glare.

Giggs has since had his say on the matter, and, speaking to WalesOnline, he claims the whole incident has been blown out of proportion.

He said: "I celebrated but then, just like I was as a player, I suddenly realised 'yeah, don't get too excited, there's four or five minutes to go.'

"And that was it really. The media like to try and twist things but I'm used to it."
