Giggs commented on Manchester United's derby performance on Ferdinand's podcast.

Giggs said: "We also don't have true wingers. When we try to build play, it feels like the wrong player is receiving the ball. By 'wrong player', I mean the wing-back is receiving it (note: it should be the winger receiving the ball). Once you've set your formation, you have to move the ball quickly. That's to disrupt the opposition and prevent them from playing comfortably."

"When you lose the ball, if you can win it back quickly, that kills the opposition. Because Manchester United players have to retreat at full speed, compared to Manchester City who control the ball comfortably and then advance."

"So you're saying the wing-backs aren't actually as responsible as everyone claims?"

Giggs said: "No, sometimes the ball hits the first defender, or goes too far and out of play.

"But my point is, I still want to defend them somewhat—the wing-backs. The thing is, there's a player in the box who isn't a true centre-forward. Without a true centre-forward, it really makes you feel that a wing-back will think after getting the ball: 'This cross has to be perfect.'"
