Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has cautioned Manchester City to expect backlash if they don’t finish in the top four of the Premier League this season.

City have once again splurged in the transfer market this summer, spending £77 million on midfielders Yaya Toure and David Silva, and defenders Jerome Boateng and Aleksander Kolarov.

In addition, Roberto Mancini is still looking to add Aston Villa starlet James Milner and Wolfsburg hitman Edin Dzeko before the season begins.

Giggs believes that City must back up all of their spending by qualifying for the Champions League at the very least or face ridicule for not taking advantage of their extravagant spending.

"I think with the players they've acquired over the last two years, that's probably the minimum target," Giggs told The Mirror.

"They came close last year, so they'll be looking to improve each season, just like all the top teams.

"It's a similar scenario to last season really. City have got so many talented players that, if they gel as a team, they'll be a force. If they don't, then obviously it could be a frustrating season for them and they'll probably get a little bit of stick.

The United legend believes that City can compete for the Premier League title if they come together as a team, but he is more concerned with the Red Devils.

"If they gel as a team, like they proved in games last year, they can beat anyone. But like all of us, it's trying to get that consistency.

“Last season, they got Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor, both of whom are quality players, and Robinho before them. So they've been attracting players over the last two years.

"But I don't really take any notice of what City are doing, the same as any other team. If they get a run together, if they get that consistency all teams need, then they'll be a force, and no-one knows yet if they're going to do that."

Pretty spot-on, I'd say. That's probably our number 1 priority is gelling.

Having read this interview today, i just knew people on this forum would back this bitter and twisted rag. He hates City, just like the Nevilles.

nothing like neville though is he? he's not going to like us because he's played for our rivals for 20 years. he's a whinging twat on the pitch but then so is our left winger. giggs has clearly been asked about us and given his opinion as opposed to neville who sees himself as a mouthpiece but is in fact a gobshite.

i remember seeing giggs out in worsley the night after england drew 0-0 in rome to book our place in '98 world cup. i was pissed and shouted down the road at him "what you doing next summer giggsy while we're at the world cup?"
he shouted back something about me being a blue bastard. came across as level headed and up for a bit of banter.

that goal on his derby debut really was a pointon own goal though. ;o)
 
Giggs the new rags spokesman now?

I'm starting to think that Taggart has died and fully expect to see Gary Chuckle and Paul Scholes propping his alcohol soaked body up in the dugout weekend at bernies stylee.
