Giggs: Teams determined to beat CL holders Man Utd

Manchester United's Ryan Giggs has admitted that in this seasons competition opposition teams are more determined to beat them because they are Champions League holders.

So far, the Reds have managed to avoid suffering their first setback in this season's competition.

But Giggs has definitely noticed a change in approach. And he recognises the challenges will only get tougher as the tournament progresses.

"We knew it would be tough because every team is out to beat the holders," Giggs told UEFA's website.

"You have got to remember what it took to win the Champions League.

"It wasn't easy. It was tough right from the start. We need to use the experience we had last year and keep the desire and the hunger because we have already proved the talent is there.

"With all those things we have a great chance."
