Giggs unimpressed by Man Utd striker Rashford for derby interview

Wales coach Ryan Giggs has slammed Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford for his post-match interview after defeat to Manchester City.

The England international called on his team-mates to remember what it's like to represent Manchester United as they face a fight to make the top four.

Rashford appeared in his United tracksuit after the game and was also wearing a branded Dsquared2 cap for the interview.

United legend Giggs reacted: "He's a young player, we've all done it… an interview after the game, you're emotional, you're not happy," Giggs said.

"I don't know why he's wearing that cap, but that might be just me – old school, not like the modern footballer now.

"He's upset, he says he think they're good enough – they're not good enough."

Giggs suggested the defeat just highlighted the gulf in class between the two teams.

"United, because of the first touch, or not good enough, because of the options they have, they just kick it long and it's not good enough.

"We haven't got as good players as Liverpool and Manchester City."
