Ferguson declares Man Utd's Giggs greatest Premier League player

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Ryan Giggs is the Premier League's greatest ever player.

Ferguson told Inside United: "We've had a lot of top class players in this league and some have probably made more of an impact than Ryan - but nobody can boast the same sort of longevity and consistency.

"He was there when the league started and he's still there now. For that reason I think you'd have to say Ryan's the best. We've played him out wide in a few games because he's fresh at the moment. It's the beginning of the season, he's got plenty of running in him and he can do a lot of damage in the wide position.

"But I think you'll find that as the season progresses he'll move back into the middle of the park where he can dictate the games."
