Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs admits he is enjoying his new role in the side.

The 34-year-old has now reverted from his left winger role to a central midfielder as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to get the best out of the former Wales international.

Giggs put in a superb performance in the United engine room against West Brom on Saturday and he says he is relishing his new role.

"It is not a role I am unfamiliar with because I played in midfield when I was younger," said Giggs.

Experience

"I don't think some players are used to opponents trying to take them on in central midfield, so that can work to my advantage.

"Maybe I will still play the odd game on the wing but it is difficult to play there when you are not getting up and down.

"The manager sees me in a different role, so this is something that has been developing over the last three or four years."

At this stage of his career Giggs has found himself rested on a number of occasions by Ferguson and the United ace says he has no problem in being used in a rotation system.

"I would definitely rather start games and I almost don't want to make too much of an impact because I don't want to be known as a supersub," added Giggs.

Not a problem

"As long as I know which games I will be playing in, I can prepare myself in training. I accept I am not going to play every week."
