Man Utd hero Giggs: Solskjaer was bound to lose

Manchester United hero Ryan Giggs says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's unbeaten run was always going to end.

The Norwegian suffered his first defeat as interim manager when PSG rolled past his side at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

"Manchester United have been brilliant since Ole took over but we all knew what United are, they were in a false position in the league before he took over but they're still a few players short of challenging in the Champions League year after year," Giggs said in his Class of 92 Diary on Sky Sports.

"But the signs have been promising so it's just a case of not getting too cocky when United were winning, but not getting too downhearted after losing to PSG. They had to lose at some point!

"There are some big games coming up for the club to bounce back in; tough games against Chelsea and then Liverpool, probably the biggest game for United fans.

"But they're good games to have after a defeat as you don't need any help to get the players up for them."
