Giggs Takes Manchester United Back To The Top by Oliver Kay
At the end, as the final whistle was blown, four West Ham United players flocked towards Ryan Giggs, all of them asking whether they could have the shirt off his back. It was like seeing a Western tourist being pestered on a beach in Koh Samui, but, charming to the last, Giggs offered an apologetic smile and a handshake and continued on his way, accepting an embrace from Paul Scholes and, finally, the adulation of the celebrating Manchester United supporters...

Manchester United Back On Top After Ryan Giggs Brilliance by Henry Winter
The old ones are the best – and Manchester United’s veterans are laughing all the way to another title.

The statistics they now churn out are relentless, though, and rivals have been cracking up in the effort to keep pace. This was their fourth 1–0 win in 2009 alone. There is much to respect in the outstanding technique exhibited by so many of their players. If exuberance shows up less frequently these days, a scrupulous United have established a two-point lead in the Premier League, with a game in hand, and look virtually impregnable... Guardian
