I have no problem with Moyes - Giggs

Manchester United player-coach, Ryan Giggs, has denied allegations that his relationship with coach David Moyes has soured.

The English media has been awash with reports that Giggs is angry at Moyes over his lack of playing time at the club.

The reports indicated that Giggs will leave United at the end of the season as a result.

But the 44-year-old Monday insisted that he has a good relationship with Moyes.

“The relationship is good. There's obviously no problem with the manager, I know a lot of stuff has been said but I don't know where that's come from,” he told reporters.

“As a player you want to play all the time, but I know I probably won't play every game. 

“The last time I played was probably the first time in six or seven weeks but we've got a lot of players to choose from and as you see in the performance against Olympiakos I'm always ready to come in and play and that's what you've got to do, not sulk because you're not playing you've got to come in and be ready to play for the team. 

“The players tomorrow if they've not been playing have got to come in and perform.”

Touching on United's upcoming Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich, Giggs dismissed assertion that United were underdogs.

He said: “Obviously Bayern are a fantastic team. They are the holders. Pep Guardiola has took over, added a few new players and obviously they are a very strong team.

“And like you say, probably favourites in most people’s eyes.

“But we’re Manchester United, it’s at Old Trafford and we have seen so many great nights in Europe especially.

“As players, we don’t see ourselves as underdogs. We see ourselves as Manchester United playing at home in the Champions League and we can’t wait.

“These are the games you want to be involved in as a player. We’ll go out and try and win the game, it’s going to be tough but it usually is in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but we’re confident, we’re looking forward to it.”
