Veteran Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United have put their slow start to the new season behind them as they prepare to face Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

The Red Devils finally scored more than one goal in a game this season when they coasted into the fourth round of the Carling Cup following a 3-1 victory over Middlesbrough on Tuesday evening.

United welcomed back Cristiano Ronaldo against the Teessiders and their upturn in form, coupled with the return of last year's 42-goal top-scorer, has left Giggs in optimistic mood ahead of the visit of the Trotters.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side are currently 15th in the Premier League table after winning just one of their opening four games.

"It was a tough start, there's no doubting that," he told MUTV.

"We didn't play well at the beginning of the season, but over the last week or so - against Villarreal, and at Chelsea in the first half especially, then tonight - we've showed some really good stuff.

"We've got a really strong squad. A lot of the players perhaps haven't played games in the last few weeks, but they got that game time tonight.

"This team's capable of going on a winning run of ten games. Hopefully that's started and we can carry it on against Bolton."
