Ryan Giggs hoping Manchester United's past-experiences will prove vital in the title race

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs is backing the Red Devil's previous experience of title run-ins give them the edge over Manchester City as they look to secure a 20th Premier League crown.

"I think in most people's eyes they're favourites because they're top of the league, and because of the quality they've got, and the football they played early season," the veteran told United's official website.

"You can't ignore the money and the quality they've got, and their strength in depth.

"They're obviously trying to lay the foundations for 10, 20, 30 years. Whether it happens or not we'll have to wait and see.

"It's just down to which team handles it [pressure] best."

Whilst the Welshamn is well aware that the City squad is packed full of quality internationals, with the likes of Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Yaya Toure, he believes that this side's 'seen it and done it' experience, will help United during the coming months.

"They've got a lot of experience, they've got players who've won things, but we like to think we've got a good mix of experience and hunger.

"I think the experience of doing it before with the manager [is key].

"We've got older players who've been there, and younger players who haven't and really want to win things, so hopefully that's in our favour."
