Ryan Giggs knows it will be tough for Manchester United to regain their Premier League crown but is confident they can bounce back from last season's disappointment.
"You hope the big players that you sign fit in straight away," said the 38-year-old Giggs, who will be making his 600th Premier League appearance if he plays some part against the Latics. "Sometimes it doesn't happen. With Shinji and Robin it has happened straight away, which is great. "It gives everyone a lift in the squad. Training is a lot sharper and we are all fighting for places, which is what you want. "It just ups the performance level."
