Giggs is cranking up the pressure

RYAN Giggs believes Manchester United are in title-winning form.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side picked up their second victory in West London in four days on Wednesday night when they brushed aside Fulham 5-0.
Danny Welbeck, Nani, Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov netted the goals as United secured a comfortable victory by the Thames.
Giggs' effort means he has now scored in all 20 Premier League seasons, but the veteran midfielder was more pleased by the team performance.
"It's been a good few weeks," Giggs said. "You saw what we're capable of at Fulham and that's the standard we set ourselves.
"It was a similar story at Queens Park Rangers (last Sunday).
"There, we just didn't finish the chances off. This time we managed to score the goals.
"To come to a place like Craven Cottage and have that sort of movement and interplay was first-class.
"For myself and Michael Carrick in midfield, the movement in front of us was brilliant.
"Obviously, the defending was good as well. But when you have so many options on the ball, we're a very difficult team to play.”
United's victory maintains the pressure on Manchester City heading into Christmas, with Wigan travelling to Old Trafford on Boxing Day.
Ashley Young and Phil Jones look set to miss out after picking up injuries, but Giggs is confident of picking up another three points.
"We have to carry on the form we're in at the moment," he said.
