Ryan Giggs says Manchester United always had faith in their ability during a difficult first-half of the season.
Many were writing off United for not only the league title, but even the top four, before Christmas.
"We all concede that we weren't playing brilliantly in the first half of the season. But we were getting results," observed Giggs.
"In the second half of the season our performances and results have been excellent.
"We don't really care what people say. We know the quality that is in the dressing room, so does the manager."
