Manchester United hero Ryan Giggs is pleased the club have made signings who “can’t wait to play” for the Red Devils. United boss Erik ten Hag has been busy in the transfer market this summer, landing Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich earlier this week after already snapping up Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee.

In a conversation with YouTube fan channel Webby & O’Neill, Giggs was asked if he thought the new signings could make an impact at United and responded: “I do. I think they’ve played at big clubs.

“What I like is that they look young, hungry and they look as though they want to come and play for the club. Everything that I’ve seen, these players can’t wait to play for Manchester United and see it as an honour.

“There isn’t much being made about how much they’re being paid. I think we’ve paid too much [in the past] in transfer fees and wages for players who weren’t good enough, whereas now I don’t know if it’s Dan Ashworth or Jason Wilcox, we’re getting players in who want to play for Man United.

“They’re not hanging about wanting more money. The transfers have been done quickly so for me that’s a clear sign that they want to come to United.”
