Ferguson says Giggs will not be targeted next season

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that winger Ryan Giggs will not be the target for fan abuse next season.

“I’m not sure Giggs will get that. He’s one of the few players that other fans like,” the Daily Mirror quoted Ferguson, as saying.

“He has their respect. He has never been sent off and only had a few bookings. I don’t see it being a problem,” he added.

It was earlier alleged that Giggs had an extra-marital affair with model Imogen Thomas.

The 37-year-old’s sister-in-law, Natasha, later claimed that they regularly slept together after first meeting at a Manchester club in 2003.
