We knew they would come out strong in the second half but we were still able to create chances, which was pleasing.[LNB]"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."[LNB]All United need to do to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition is beat the Serie A leaders on home soil, but Giggs believes the tie remains finely poised.[LNB]"It's still a tricky tie, and we would have liked to have scored that away goal," he added.
