Giggs surprised by cocky Man Utd youngsters

Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs admits he's surprised by the boldness of the club's youngsters.

Giggs is amazed how young players no longer hold any inhibitions because of their big wages and higher profiles.

"It's entertaining seeing the younger ones around the training ground and seeing how things have changed so much since I came into the game," he reflected with the People.

"Because of the fees these youngsters are bought for as 18, 19 or 20-year-olds, they are now adults when they arrive at the club.

"In my day, we wouldn't have said boo to the likes of Steve Bruce or Gary Pallister when we were younger, but now the young players are running around the place making jokes.

"It's nice to see. I like being around the youngsters and I still love the daily routine."
