Ryan Giggs - Greatest ever United player

Whatever your definition of 'greatness', Ryan Giggs surely has them all nailed.

His status as the Reds' all-time record appearances maker - with 859 games and counting - is enough on its own to place him in the pantheon of United greats. Then consider the fact that no other player has helped the club to win more trophies and again, his coat hangs proudly on one of the highest pegs in the Hall of Fame.

But there are also players who are simply great to watch, to be entertained and enthralled by - and as our video shows, Ryan also ticks that particular box with a big gold pen. Enjoy.
