Man Utd great Giggs not a fan of swapping shirts

Manchester United great Ryan Giggs has expressed his displeasure at the culture among professional players of swapping shirts.

The Welshman was particularly incensed by some of the United players who could be seen talking and swapping shirts with Chelsea players following the 4-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

"You can get beat in a football match, but then when you're getting beat and you're swapping shirts – which is something I don't like, call me old fashioned," Giggs said.

"If you get beat 4-0, you congratulate the opposition, you thank the supporters and then you get off the pitch.

"You don't stand around on the pitch, swapping shirts and laughing, with the team that's just beat you."
