Ryan Giggs has claimed that he hasn’t “noticed much of a difference” since Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United.
The winger moved to Real Madrid in the summer, with some pundits claiming that United’s indifferent form is down to the absence of Ronaldo.
“Cristiano is one of the best players in the world but I have to be honest and say I haven’t noticed much of a difference since he left,” Giggs said in The People.
“We have never been a one-man team and we still have more or less the same group of players, with a couple of additions.
“We all knew Cristiano wanted to play for Madrid and when he got the chance he took it.
“He wasn’t a Manc and we knew one day he would leave, but there are no hard feelings - why should there be?
“He is one of the best I have ever played with and a really nice lad, but we knew Madrid was where he wanted to be one day and he got his wish, so good luck to him.”
