Ryan Giggs makes Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba admission at Manchester United

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has admitted that Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba are far more confident penalty takers than he was at the club. Giggs spent the entirety of his 24-year playing career at Old Trafford, scoring 168 goals for United - including five from the penalty spot. He stated: "My technique with penalty taking was - you know you see players looking at the goalkeeper? Eden Hazard - I mean he's amazing, he just goes up so slowly, and even Bruno Fernandes now with a little hop. I could never do that. My philosophy was: 'I'm putting it low into the corner - even if the goalkeeper goes the right way, he's not gonna save it if I execute it right'. "That was my philosophy, so it doesn't matter if he went the right way or not. If I do low, side-netting, he shouldn't be able to save it. That was my philosophy, rather than looking at the goalkeeper, trying to play mind games and having the confidence which Hazard and Bruno Fernandes [have]. Pogba did for a while that slow run up. I could never do that." Giggs scored from the spot in a tense penalty shootout to help United win the Champions League against Chelsea in Moscow in 2008. Source: MEN Join us on Telegram!
