I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

He's not really a No.10, a true organizer. He's more a second attacker who can score goals and has the vision to make them.

All of us at Juventus agreed Manchester United were the best side we met in the Champions League. They have so many talented young players and can only get better and better. Giggs is truly world class
