After defeat to Manchester United, Portsmouth boss Avram Grant spoke of his admiration for their goal scorers Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney.

Rooney struck a hat-trick in United's 4-1 win at Fratton Park.

Grant said: "I think we will still be playing against Ryan Giggs in 2015.

"He doesn't look 36 and you would never guess he was that old. He is such a great player, so clever and a real example to all others.

"I have so much admiration for players like Giggs and Rooney because I like intelligent players with enthusiasm, passion, quality and so much commitment to their team."
