Giggs warns Man Utd must not take Blackpool lightly

Ryan Giggs says Manchester United must not take Blackpool lightly tonight.

Giggs is not prepared to take anything for granted.

"It is a great achievement for Blackpool to be in the Premier League and see them playing such good football," he said. "They have been a breath of fresh air this season because they have gone out and attacked teams.

"They have the mindset that they will try and score goals, even if it means conceding a few.

"There has been so many exciting games involving Blackpool, which is a credit to them."

There have been many great press conferences involving Ian Holloway too, a character Giggs has warmed to and whose infectious enthusiasm he believes filters down to his players.

"The manner Ian Holloway behaves transcends to the players," he said.

"You can see that they are playing with freedom. They respect the teams they are playing against but they think they can beat them. "That is a great thing to have. I am sure it will be the same when they are facing us."
