Giggs adamant Man Utd will bounce back next season

Manchester United interim boss Ryan Giggs is adamant they'll be back stronger next season.

Giggs insists the Reds will respond to a trophyless campaign by showing their true colours in 2014/2015.

"I think I summed it up on Tuesday, when I said it's been a disappointing season," he reasoned. "Just like a player when you have setbacks, if you're a proper player, you come back. If you're a proper team and a proper club, which we are, you always bounce back.

"In my first full season we lost out to Leeds in the league and I was sat in the dressing room as an 18-year-old watching grown men cry. I saw then how much football, how much winning meant to people. How much it meant to professionals. We came back the next year and won the league for the first time in 26 years. There's not a doubt in my mind that, as Sir Bobby [Charlton] said, we'll be back next season and we'll be challenging. That's what proper clubs do, they have setbacks and they come back stronger.

"You don't achieve anything without help. That goes for James [Wilson] who made his debut the other day, and Adnan [Januzaj] who lit up the stadium the other night. They'll need help, just like I did. They're at the right club, just as I have been for the last 26 years."
