對于曼聯隊的上海之行，除了“神奇隊長”羅布森外，曼聯還給大家送來了一個大驚喜。紅魔現役球星，被稱為“不老傳說”的吉格斯也出現在了昨天上海新聞發布會的現場。

The English Premier League giant Manchester United will play two matches in China this July, and one of its Chinese opponents will be the big spending Shanghai Shenhua team featuring Nicholas Anelka and rumoured to be doing a deal with Chelsea star, Didier Drogba. Man United’s winger Ryan Giggs was in town last night to promote the tour.
The ManU star said all of his team’s first squad, and all of its big names will be here for the match, along with their manager Sir Alex Ferguson. He said Shanghai will be the team’s only stop in Asia this summer. The second opponent hasn’t been decided yet, but Giggs said the reason ManU wants to play Shenhua, is because of Nicolas Anelka. And he says his team is hoping for a fresh start after losing the Premier League title to Manchester City in the very last games of the season.
Ryan Giggs, Midfielder, Manchester United, said, "It was a disappointing end to the season last year. But the thing about Manchester United is, whether we win or lose we always look to strengthen, we always look to come back better the next season, which we will do."
Giggs plays for Wales, but that team’s performance wasn’t good enough to get into either the World Cup or the European Championships. But the Welshman says he’s looking forward to the London Olympics, where he may have a chance to play for the national team.
"There is a team GB football team. The squad hasn’t been picked, and my name is still in the hat with I think about 80 players. So it’s up to Stuart Pearce, who’s the manager of that team to pick who he thinks will do well in the Olympics, so we’ll just have to wait and see who’s in the squad." Said Ryan Giggs.
ManU was last in China in 2009, but the July trip will be its first return to Shanghai since 1999. The date of the Shenhua match... and the second opponent... have yet to be worked out.
