Ryan Giggs produced another magnificent masterclass to guide
Manchester United towards a deserved win at Stoke and back to the
Premier League summit.
For 55 minutes, Nani occupied the left-wing berth Giggs has filled
for so long but brought only groans and growls of frustration from
exasperated team-mates as United failed to make the most of their
dominance.
Predictably, the response for Giggs was somewhat different.
First English football's most decorated player showed all the composure
of his 35 years to provide Dimitar Berbatov with a tap-in.
Fifteen minutes later, Giggs curled over the free-kick that allowed
John O'Shea to mark his 350th appearance with a goal as the Irishman
guided his header into the far corner.
In both instances, the goalscorer immediately ran to their 35-year-old
team-mate to offer their thanks.
