EUROPEAN CUP IS GIGGS' PRIORITY
"Every season we talk about the Champions' League and I
think we'll continue to do so until we win it again. We were
obviously delighted to win it in 1999, but the next level is
to go on and win it again and we've not managed that. I
think that our form in Europe has been really good over the
last two or three years, but for some reason we've just
fallen at the last hurdle and we definitely need to improve
upon that.
"At United the expectations are high for every player and if
you fall below them then you are going to have stick. I've
never had it like last season but I've had it before and you
rely on your experience to see you through. You know
yourself if you're not playing well and whilst it's not
pleasant I knew what I capable of and that I'd come through.
"You want to produce for the team and for yourself and you
don't want to let your team-mates down, but there were a
couple of things that maybe people didn't realise that
helped me. I needed a couple of games to rest which did me
good.
"I saw the papers linking me with other clubs but as far as
I was concerned that was as far as it went. Speculation is
part of being a player and from my point of view I've never
had any desire to leave and I didn't speak about it with the
manager.
"I've got three years left on my contract and I've said it
many times before, I want to stay at the club. I want to win
the Champions' League again and I feel that we can
definitely do that. We've got the players who are capable of
doing that, we just need to go out and do it."
