Giggs slams United for 'swapping shirts, laughing' after Chelsea rout
Ryan Giggs has blasted the current throng of Manchester United players for "swapping shirts and laughing" after they were humiliated by a 4-0 scoreline at Chelsea on Sunday.
United boss Jose Mourinho's return to his old stomping ground of Stamford Bridge was a wholly miserable one, as goals from Pedro, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard, and N'Golo Kante inflicted the Portuguese manager's heaviest Premier League defeat.
Still, much to the chagrin of Old Trafford idol Giggs, the United players were more than happy to shake hands and swap shirts after such a hurtful loss.
"You can get beat in a football match, but then when you're getting beat and you're swapping shirts, that is something I don't like," Giggs told the Premier League TV channel, according to ESPN FC's Arindam Rej.
"If you get beat 4-0, you congratulate the opposition, you thank the supporters, and then you get off the pitch.
"You don't stand around on the pitch swapping shirts and laughing with the team that's just beat you," Giggs said.
The stuffing from Chelsea left United squirming in seventh on 14 points, its second-worst Premier League tally following nine games after the 2014-15 season.
United next faces hated foe Manchester City on Wednesday in the League Cup.
