Man Utd boss Ferguson: Giggs can be penalty king

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with Ryan Giggs' performance in victory over FA Cup opponents Fulham.

Giggs set United on their way with an early converted penalty.

"Ryan is probably one of our best penalty-takers to be honest. With Wayne (Rooney) missing a penalty, it was time to give him a break. He'll come back to it, there's no doubt about that, because the one thing about Wayne is that it doesn't faze him if he misses. He has a fantastic temperament for that," said Ferguson.

"And Giggs, he's definitely fading, isn't he?!"
