Manchester United's veteran midfielder has said the squad is in "good shape" ahead of a run of tough games for the side.

 
The Red Devils picked up the points on Saturday against Crystal Palace in the Premier League with goals from Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney but now face four games in 11 days with United set to host Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday before travelling to local rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

But the 39-year-old thinks David Moyes' team is up to the challenge and have discovered their match fitness.
“I think we’re in good shape,” Giggs said. “In the first few games of the season you don’t really know where everyone’s at because players have joined at different times of pre-season or missed pre-season altogether.

“But now, especially after the international break, I think a few of the guys have caught up in terms of training or minutes on the pitch for their countries.

“We’re all ready and prepared to fully use the squad now because it seems like there’s a game every couple of days from now on.”
