Manchester United No2 Ryan Giggs denies a rift with Louis van Gaal. The 41-year-old dismissed talk of tension and praised United boss Van Gaal.

"It's coming to that part of the season where the media will look at any little thing to make it more exciting and more interesting," Giggs told BBC Sport.

"Me and Louis have a great working relationship. He's given me a massive opportunity and I'm taking it. I'm working as hard as I can and I'm enjoying every minute of it."

The former Wales international is relishing the task of being involved at the club where he spent his entire senior career and learning from the 63-year-old Dutchman.

"He's won everything and to work under someone like Louis is a great experience for me and he's been brilliant with me," Giggs added.

"He's given me a lot of responsibility and of course I have told him as much as I can about the Premier League and what to expect.

"I've really enjoyed working under him and learning something new every day."
