Giggs: We're backing Moyes

"We have a really good bunch of lads in the dressing room and, whenever the manager needs help, the more experienced players will help. That has been the norm, ever since I have been in the club.

What David Moyes is coming into is a good atmosphere, a really good bunch of lads, very good players and a really strong squad, so it is a strong position to be in. But the downside is that you have to follow the most successful manager that has ever lived.

Scholes sad to see Beckham go

It's a sad day but hopefully David is happy with what he's done.

From the start you knew the quality he had and the professionalism. His range of passing and his free-kicks were brilliant and that was no accident - he was out there practising all day long.

That's our year finished now. I think there's only Ryan Giggs, who was a year older than us, still going as strong as ever.
