Man Utd: Celebrating Ryan Giggs' 23 Greatest Goals On His 40th Birthday
23. Southampton, 1995
Against Southampton in November 1995, it took a mere 16 seconds for a young Ryan Giggs to find the back of the net. After cutting out a sloppy Saints kick-off, a United high-ball found Eric Cantona in bags of space on the edge of the penalty area, the Frenchman dinking the ball toward Giggs who lashed onto the end of a first-time volley low into the bottom corner.
22. vs Norwich, 2012
On 26 February 2012, Giggs made his 900th appearance for Manchester United, in a 21 away win against Norwich City. He naturally marked the momentous occasion by getting his name on the scoresheet after getting on the lend of a searching Ashley Young cross to prod in at the far post.
21. vs Newcastle, 2010
In August 2010, Ryan Giggs's Manchester United gave Newcastle a frosty reception upon their promotion back into the Premier League with a thumping 3-0 win at Old Trafford. Dimitar Berbatov opened the scoring before Darren Fletcher made it two. Giggs completed the rout by getting on the end of a Paul Scholes cross to volley into the bottom corner for three without reply.
