West Ham 0 Man Utd 4: Olden wonders Giggs and Scholes run the show

The elderly gentlemen sauntered away through the evening rain, with their points secured, their title challenge enhanced and their reputations re-affirmed. Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs share 71 years and they are in the gentle twilight of their careers. But if they continue to meet teams like West Ham, they might easily play for a further decade or two.
