Giggs to hang from the Stretford End on Saturday!

Ryan Giggs has seen it all before as the inquest into back-to-back defeats for Manchester United continues. Defeat in the FA Cup tie with Arsenal at Old Trafford would represent their worst run since 2001.

"You try to keep a level head no matter what is happening," he said.

"If you are on a 10-game winning streak or have lost a couple of games, you need to keep the same calmness and not get too carried away.

"Criticism comes with the territory.

"We have had two defeats. Outside the club, people are thinking what is wrong. The only way to stop them saying that is to do it on the pitch. That is what we intend to do, starting tomorrow."

On the plus side Giggs has celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut, and a record-breaking 607th league appearance.

Another accolade will come his way on Saturday when he is afforded the honour of a banner hanging from the Stretford End, to join the one belonging to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the infamous City one!

"It is brilliant," said Giggs.

"It is where I used to go as a kid so to have a banner there up with the legends who are already there will be great."
