Giggs blasts United for swapping shirts
Ryan Giggs has criticised Manchester United players for “swapping shirts and laughing” after their 4-0 hammering by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
United legend Giggs hit out after Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Juan Mata were pictured smiling and Anthony Martial was seen hugging France teammate N’Golo Kante at the final whistle.
The former Old Trafford assistant manager, speaking on the Premier League TV channel, said: “You can get beat in a football match, but then when you’re getting beat and you’re swapping shirts, that is something I don’t like.
“If you get beat 4-0, you congratulate the opposition, you thank the supporters and then you get off the pitch.
“You don’t stand around on the pitch swapping shirts and laughing with the team that’s just beat you.”
Pedro, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante scored as Antonio Conte’s Chelsea made it a miserable return to Stamford Bridge for former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
