Giggs: Chelsea are our main rivals

The huge spending by billionaire owner Sheikh Mansour has propelled City into the title race, after years in the shadow of their near neighbours.

The Red Devils are only above their city rivals at the summit of the Premier League on goal difference after a flying start to the season by both teams.

However, while Giggs acknowledges City have some world-class stars, he feels Chelsea represent the biggest challenge as a team.

"It is strange to see Manchester City, especially if you think about the last 20 years where Manchester Unitedhave won numerous trophies," said the 37-year-old.

"But the situation has changed. They have plenty of money so they have some outstanding players. But I think Chelsea are more dangerous as a team."

Giggs And Scholes Have More League Titles Than All Of Man City’s Current Squad

<a class="postlink" href="http://manutube.net/2012/04/06/giggs-and-scholes-have-more-league-titles-than-all-of-man-citys-current-squad/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://manutube.net/2012/04/06/giggs-an ... ent-squad/</a>

The following is the reason why United will undoubtedly win the league this season and City will fall short.

Despite the money Man City have spent on without question world class players, their entire squads league titles combined add up to 19. Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes’s league titles combined add up to 22. Below is a list of City players who have won at least one league title.

Kolo Toure (3) - 2 with Mimosas and 1 with Arsenal

Carlos Tevez (4) – 1 with Boca Juniors, 1 with Corinthians and 2 with Man Utd

Vincent Kompany (2) – with Anderlecht

Yaya Toure (4) – 1 with Mimosas, 1 with Olympiacos and 2 with Barcelona

Mario Balotelli (3) – with Inter

Nigel De Jong (1) – with Ajax

Edin Dzeko (1) – with Wolsfburg

Gael Clichy (1) – with Arsenal


As you can see only 8 City players have ever won a league title. Of those only three have won a league in England. Ironically one of those is Tevez who won two leagues with Man United! Gael Clichy won the title once with Arsenal in the ‘invincibles’ season where he played back up to Ashley Cole. Balotelli rarely played in any of his league winning years at Inter and Vincent Kompany’s titles came in the Belgian league which is nowhere near as competitive as the Premiership. Regular starters David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Joe Hart have never won a league title. In fact apart from the Toure brothers, who combined have more or less won everything at club level, none of City’s players come close to United players in terms of trophy’s.

Rather than make a list of United players who have won the league it would be much easier to name those who haven’t. As you can imagine it is only a handful as even most of our inexperienced younger players have at least one league title under their belt.

Phil Jones

David De Gea

Tom Cleverley

Danny Welbeck

Ashley Young

From the first team squad who have made a significant contribution this season, these five players are the only ones who have not won the league. This is explained by the fact that Jones, De Gea and Young are in their first seasons with United while Welbeck and Cleverley have just returned from loan. United fans shouldn’t worry though. Something tells us they might be winning their first league title sooner rather than later.

No links, just a big congratulations to MC for winning the league. I'm a West Ham fan and in my opinion, they played the most attractive football and deserved their win – that finale was something special; almost as good as seeing the looks on the Man U players/fans faces. Priceless.

Long may it continue.

How Manchester United will win the Premier League title
 
1/5
1. They will hold their nerve when their rivals will falter
United began Monday night’s game with 33 title winners’ medals sprinkled throughout their starting line-up and that know-how showed as the game developed into a tense, edgy battle of wills. When the clock ticks past the hour mark at this stage of the season and there is no sign of a breakthrough, less experienced teams began to panic and leave gaps at the back as they strain forward in search of a goal. Panic sets in. United? They just know how to grind away at the opposition and push and push until the goal comes.


2/5
2. Even the biggest names will put the team first
There is no place for egos when teams are going for a title and if a sacrifice must be made for the greater good, then so be it. Against Blackburn, for example, Wayne Rooney was asked to play a deeper role and was deployed on the left flank by Sir Alex Ferguson in order to provide an outlet for United’s three-man midfield. In truth, the tactic seemed to blunt United’s cutting edge, but Rooney still stuck to the plan when some more high-maintenance individuals might have reacted differently.

3. Ferguson knows how and when to use his substitutes
Ferguson’s original formation left United short of attacking threat at Ewood Park, but with the points at stake, he replaced Javier Hernández and Phil Jones with Danny Welbeck and Ryan Giggs respectively. Shortly afterwards, Ashley Young replaced the tiring Paul Scholes and all three substitutes ultimately proved key to United’s precious victory. Giggs brought composure, Welbeck created space by stretching the Blackburn defence and Young made victory safe with his goal on 85 minutes.

4. They have match-winning quality throughout
The 2-0 scoreline was as much about the brilliance of goalkeeper David de Gea as the match-winning intervention of Antonio Valencia. But for De Gea’s double save from Marcus Olsson and Grant Hanley in first-half stoppage time, followed by his effort in keeping out Morten Gamst Pedersen’s second-half free-kick, United could have been trailing by two or three goals. De Gea’s saves gave Valencia the platform to open the scoring before the Ecuadorean winger teed up Young for United’s second.

5. They have the priceless ability to score late goals
No team turn a defeat into a draw or draw into a victory in the dying stages as often as United. From Steve Bruce’s headers against Sheffield Wednesday in 1993, to Federico Macheda’s injury-time winner against Aston Villa in 2009, United’s title charges have been dominated by late strikes. Giggs repeated the trick at Norwich in February, but while Valencia’s 80th-minute strike against Blackburn was early by United’s standards, its impact was just as crucial.
