Robin van Persie has been impressed by Manchester United interim manager Ryan Giggs.

Giggs takes charge of his final match at the helm on Sunday when United visit Southampton.

"I witnessed two team meetings as I came in a bit late," said Van Persie, who returned to the team after a seven-week injury lay-off.

"The one from the last game against Sunderland, and Tuesday's game, were incredible. They were Sir Alex-esque.

"He's been brilliant. And he put in some fantastic passes and almost scored after coming on. He's a legend and I think he shows that every day."
