Ryan Giggs is feeling confident ahead of United's Champions League last 16 second leg tie after "outplaying" Internazionale in the first leg in Milan.

The Welshman was frustrated that United's outstanding San Siro performance was not rewarded with an away goal, but the 35-year-old is looking at the positives.

“It was a good performance, and it was just a shame we couldn’t score that all-important away goal because it could have been vital,” he said.

“We completely outplayed them in the first half and we were really pleased with the performance. We knew they would come out strong in the second half but we were still able to create chances, which was pleasing.

“I thought we played well throughout, we looked good on the ball and there was great movement within the team. We felt confident and that showed in our performance.”

The tie is evenly poised heading into the second leg at Old Trafford on 11 March, and Giggs fancies United’s chances. “It’s still a tricky tie, and we would have liked to have scored that away goal,” he added. “But if we perform like we did in the first leg at Old Trafford then we’ll win.

“Experience is going to be very important. Inter are a top side and they have got goals in them. We will have to defend well and make sure we put our chances away.”
