Giggs: Praised by Ferguson after helping to inspire United to a 2-0 semi-final first-leg win over Schalke<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sir Alex Ferguson has labelled Ryan Giggs as ‘amazing’ after hailing Manchester United’s 2-0 win away to Schalke as one of their best performances in Europe.<\/p>\n

United took a giant stride towards reaching next month’s UEFA Champions League final at Wembley after second-half goals from Giggs and Wayne Rooney secured a comfortable success in Gelsenkirchen.<\/p>\n

Giggs was pulling the strings from a central midfield role and the 37-year-old could easily have scored a hat-trick before breaking the deadlock midway through the second half.<\/p>\n

The Welshman has agreed a contract to play on for the Red Devils next season and Ferguson is amazed by Giggs’ longevity at the highest level.<\/p>\n

Freshness<\/h4>\n

“It is strange because Ryan’s peak years seem to have lasted so long,” said Ferguson.<\/p>\n

“You would think, at 37, he would be showing signs of waning. I don’t see any evidence of that.<\/p>\n

“We look after him in terms of rest before games but when he gets that freshness he doesn’t show any sign of fatiguing at all. He is an amazing man.”<\/p>\n

Only Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer prevented United from building an even more commanding first-leg advantage, while the clean sheet ensured Ferguson’s side have not conceded a goal away from home in Europe this season.<\/p>\n

With a final showdown against Barcelona or Real Madrid now seemingly on the horizon, Ferguson ranked the display against Schalke on a par with his team’s best in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

The United boss added: “Overall I was delighted. It was a top performance.<\/p>\n

“We have had some fantastic performances in Europe during my time.<\/p>\n

“Juventus in Juventus in 1999 obviously will always be high on the list but this certainly ranks as one of the best.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
