Man Utd boss Ferguson hails Giggs as superhuman

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson rated Ryan Giggs as superhuman after victory over Champions League opponents Chelsea.

Giggs set up all three of United's goals over the two legs of this last-eight tie against Chelsea.

At 37, he is playing as well as ever. And after this 3-1 aggregate win, Fergie said: "It's been said so many times about the man, he's incredible, a unique person and player.

"His contribution is big because of the goal in the first game, and the part he played in the goals in this game.

"He's lucky in the sense that he's got the physique - he's never carried any weight - and he's got fantastic balance. That's always been his asset. And he looks after himself.

"To play at 37 requires tremendous sacrifice. His experience and composure were vital. But the whole team deserve great credit."
