Two days ago, the Carling Cup match between local team West Ham and ended tragically for the "Red Devils" - the "Hammers" crushed the visitors 4-0.
Sir Alex Ferguson's disciples started the game actively, and in the 6th minute Gabriel Obertan could have scored a goal against Robert Green in West Ham's goal, but the ball hit the post.
Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs, who played in this match, spoke after the game: "It would have been different if Gabby's shot had been accurate. We started the game very well, but that deflected ball hit the post. Later they quickly scored a goal and we, you could say, gave up."
Despite West Ham being at the bottom of the Premier League table, Giggs, who celebrated his 37th birthday last week, said that it is always difficult to play against the "Hammers".
"Whenever we come to play against West Ham, no matter how they are doing, the matches are tough. They always want to beat us. Upton Park is a very good place for them to achieve a positive result.
We were disappointed to lose 4-0. Nevertheless, we came here to win. It must be said that West Ham played well, they scored really good goals, but we felt that we could have defended better," said Giggs.
Disappointment can help. Currently, it causes negative emotions, but later, I hope, the young players who participated in this match will learn from all of this. Next time, they will strive to improve their game and win," the Welshman concluded.
For "Man Utd" team, this was the first defeat since April.
