Giggs was a member of the squad that won the treble for the Red Devils in 1999, but he reckons the current crop if players is better.

The Welshman said: "Last year, we won the Champions League and the Premier League, and we won them in great style.

"But to talk of a great team, you need six or seven consecutive years of dominance.

"This side is good enough to do that, because all our young players can improve. Basically, I think this year we have the best United team ever."

He added: "There is always a lot of attention on us and during a season, every team has a tricky period.

"We knew it would be a very awkward start with some difficult games, but since then, we've been playing much better. Hopefully, we can keep up the momentum."
