Manchester: Manchester United's vetran winger Ryan Giggs has laughed off his team's criticism this season as the Red Devils won the 19th English Premier League title and reached the final of the Champions League against Barcelona on May 28.
Though Giggs has conceded Manchester United have not been at their best this season but at the same time rejected criticism of their Premier League-winning campaign.
Only five wins in 19 away league games has led to much scrutiny and Giggs was quoted as saying by BBC Radio 5 live: "Maybe it's because we've haven't played flamboyantly.
"But it doesn't bother us. It's just something we've had to put up with."
The 37-year-old winger secured a 12th league title last week in an Old Trafford career spanning 20 years. Giggs was part of the team that drew 1-1 at Blackburn to ensure the club clinched a record-breaking 19th league title.
The Welshman was also pleased to have overhauled great rivals Liverpool's record for league titles, which was a distant dream when the veteran began his career at the club.
"Even though our home form has been unbelievable, our away form has not been the best. After giving two-goal leads away at Fulham and Everton, we were criticised," he added.
The Cardiff-born midfielder was 17 when he made his league debut as a substitute against Everton in 1991 and he has gone to accumulate more silverware than any player in English football history.
