Ryan Giggs has questioned the character of the teams battling with Manchester United for the Premier League title. Chelsea and Liverpool failed to take advantage of United's trip to Japan for the World Club Cup.

"We had to go to Tokyo, but no one really capitalised on us being away," said Giggs. "It has turned around quicker than we expected."

"The testing time will maybe come with the last stages of the Champions League and the FA Cup, along with important league games."
