As someone who, as a schoolboy, trained with the Blues and then grew up in the city, Giggs is acutely aware of how important these all-Manchester battles have always been.
Now though, it is something else, right up there with the very biggest matches Giggs has appeared in throughout his long and illustrious career.
“These are the sort games which I am still involved in football for,” he said. “They are big, title-deciding games.u00a0“Apart from cup finals this is as big as you can get.”
