Manchester United seem to have their own God-like figure at the club according to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

After veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs was confirmed as the BBC Wales Sports Personality of the Year, Ferguson said he was treated like God around the club and praised him for what has been and still is a brilliant career.

"He is treated like God in the dressing room,” said Ferguson.

"I will always remember the presentation the players made to him after the Champions League final in Moscow last year.

"Afterwards they started to sing the Ryan Giggs song. It was absolutely genuine. You could see the warmth he generates.

"He is an example and leader in the dressing room and an advisor to young players. It is always refreshing they go to him rather than rely on an agent.

"I thank my lucky stars that I have been able to experience and enjoy watching his performances for 20 years — no manager will have that again."
