Amazing how little goodwill this man has in England despite his success.

Twenty years on from Manchester United's historic treble triumph the Welshman admits he disliked several Gunners stars

Ryan Giggs has revealed the intensity of Manchester United's rivalry with Arsenal led to him irrationally detesting several players from their arch nemesis.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger went head-to-head for the biggest honours in the game during a memorable managerial duel following the Frenchman's arrival in England in October 1996.

But in the 1998-99 campaign United claimed a Premier League FA Cup double, before adding the Champions League after a dramatic win over Bayern Munich at Camp Nou.

Victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final replay at Villa Park triggered United's run to the treble, with Giggs netting arguably the most important goal with a fine dash through the entire North Londoners' defence.

The normally calm and considered Giggs admits he had to adopt an entirely different persona when faced with Wenger's side and had a particular hatred for four opposition players - including some members of The Invincibles squad.

"I didn’t like Arsenal," Giggs told the Daily Mail. "I didn’t like Vieira ’cos he was dirty and got away with murder. I didn’t like Petit because he had long hair. I didn’t like Bergkamp.

"I didn’t like Pires even though when you meet him now he’s actually dead nice. I wouldn’t even look at them, didn’t know them and didn’t want to. I wouldn’t allow myself to rate any of them.

"Bergkamp? Nah, I told myself he wasn’t as good as Eric Cantona. I wasn’t really that kind of person.

I don't like Giggs because he's a multimillionaire who could have his pick of women but instead decided to snake his brother and have an affair with his GF.

Most overrated player in PL history by far.

Guy played for 3 centuries and never had one outstanding season.

Roy Keane said there is a difference between a great career and a great player in regards to Giggs and he's 100% right.

People confuse longevity with greatness.

Guess they'll swap places with Tottenham. Even more so once Poch leaves.

Even OGS has totally given up on Alexis. Both him and Pogba will likely go in the summer. With Mikhytaryan contributing actual goals and assists, I'd. Say we finally got one over Utd in the transfer castoffs.

This could be one of the most embarassing seasons ever as a United fan. The following scenario could feasibly happen

City win the League
Liverpool win the CL
We win the EL meaning they’re the only top 6 team not to qualify for the CL
Hired a shit manager, missing out on Poch
Releasing a new home kit which is based on the 99 CL final - got the anniversary wrong (it’ll be 21 years, not 20) whilst playing EL football

We think we have it bad

Difference is United can and will burn money buying players every season until they get it right, we won't.
