Man Utd icon Giggs: Why I didn't like these 4 Arsenal legends

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs admits he was no fan of Arsenal when they were eachother's nearest rivals.

Giggs was part of the Red Devils side that achieved the treble in 1999, a season after Arsenal had won the double.

The two clubs were the best in England at the time, and as a result matches between them were full of quality, passion and very often aggression.

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

"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."
