Man Utd veteran Giggs expects Bayern Munich to attack

Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs expects an attacking Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarterfinal clash.

Giggs certainly expects it to be different to 1999's final, not least because Bayern no longer have the same physical characteristics.

They are now more reliant on the stealth of Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben, who is rated as an extreme doubt anyway.

"The team we played against in 1999 was really powerful. It had strength all the way through," said Giggs.

"Now Bayern have a lot of trickery with Ribery and Robben, and some other individual matchwinners.

"But our European record in recent times has been good and if we play to the best of our ability we really fancy ourselves."
