Giggs will take quick free kick again if chance comes

MANCHESTER - RYAN Giggs has warned Lille he would not think twice about taking a quick free kick if the opportunity arises today.

'It doesn't matter if there is a huge fuss again. I am not breaking the rules, so I would do it,' said the Manchester United forward, still going strong at 33.

The Welshman became only the second player in the club's history to make 700 appearances, when he helped United to a 1-0 victory over Liverpool on Saturday.

He admits to being driven by the fear that his next game could be the last.

'Because you get older, and year on year you are getting closer to the end, you try to enjoy it a lot more,' he told MUTV. 'You try and make the most of it. You try and win as much as you can.'

Striker Henrik Larsson will play his final match at Old Trafford in United colours, before his loan deal expires on Monday. He said: 'I will be trying to make the most of every minute I have on the pitch.'

The former Barcelona player knows what it takes to win the Champions League. He believes that Alex Ferguson has a squad with credentials to go all the way.

'It's a good squad, so everything is possible,' he said.

'But we can't forget that we're playing a good side in Lille. When they were at home, they were supposed to attack more. I think it will be different with us at home.

'They are a physical team, but United are used to dealing with that. Lille will not stop, they will work and work.'

There will no room for sentimentality, a signal of his professional approach that has impressed everyone at the club.

The Swede said: 'I don't think, on the night, I will be able to savour the atmosphere.

'I need to concentrate on the game. After the match, I will try and take it all in.'
