Ryan Giggs slams Senegal tactics

Manchester United's Ryan Giggs after the full time whistle
Manchester United star Ryan Giggs has claimed Senegal's Sadio Manu could have been sent off three times for the number of woeful challenges he made in the 1-1 draw with Great Britain.

The British return to the men's football tournament for the first time since 1960 turned flat when Moussa Konate struck eight minutes from time.

But Giggs was left fuming at the robust Senegal approach, which makes Craig Bellamy and Joe Allen doubtful for Sunday's Wembley showdown with United Arab Emirates.

"There were a few naughty challenges in there and a few of our lads are probably struggling for Sunday now," said Giggs.

"There was no consistency.

"Craig Bellamy got booked going in for a header and then there were some ridiculous challenges but you don't even see a yellow card.

"I don't know how many fouls the number 10 had but in a Premier League game he'd probably have been sent off three times."
