United Better Than Chelsea

Ryan Giggs is showed his confidence in his club side yesterday by declaring the side to be better than Premiership Champions-Elect Chelsea.

Manchester United are currently 15 points behind Jose Morinho’s side and have only the FA Cup to play for after crashing out of the Champions League.

Chelsea have dominated domestic football in England this year, winning the League Cup and racing away to the top of the Premiership however Giggs feels there should be no concerns for Alex Ferguson’s men for next season.

"We certainly do not believe we are 15 points worse than Chelsea," Giggs told MUTV.

"Quality-wise we actually feel we are better than they are.

"They have raised the bar this season, you have to give them credit for that, but the problem we have had this season is that we have drawn too many times against teams we should be beating.

"We have not ground out results the way we have done in the past so we have not been able to get close enough to put pressure on Chelsea to see how they would react."

United now have only second place to play for in the Premiership, however, find themselves four points adrift of Arsenal following defeats against Norwich City and Everton in recent weeks.

With a return to Cardiff next month to defend the FA Cup, Giggs is sure that there his team mates will be up for it.

He added: "Motivation is not going to be a problem.

"We are aiming for second place because we don't want to end up in the Champions League qualifiers.

"Also there are FA Cup final places up for grabs over the next few weeks. And if you can't get yourself motivated for a major final against Arsenal, you will never be motivated."

Th FA Cup Final will take place on May 21 at the Millennium Stadium.
