Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs feels that the derby match with Manchester City next month will prove the decisive fixture in the Premier League title race.
The Red Devils stretched their lead at the top of the table to three points with a 1-0 win over Fulham at Old Trafford on Monday night, after City were held to a draw with Stoke City on Saturday.
The two sides go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium on Monday April 30 and Giggs believes that it will prove the pivotal match in the title run-in.
He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "We have the experience but City have the hunger. If we both keeping going like this, everything will be decided in the derby."
The midfielder recently signed a one-year extension to his contract with the Old Trafford club, having notched his 900th appearance in the famous red shirt in February.
The former Wales international has been earmarked as a potential candidate for the manager’s job in the future, but he insisted that he is focused solely on prolonging his illustrious playing career.
"For now, I just want to play football but I'm prepared for my life after retirement," added Giggs.
"Becoming manager of Manchester United? We'll see, for now I just want to enjoy the moment.
"My goal as a youngster was to play one game for Manchester United. I achieved that dream, which I'm continuing to live at 38. I could not ask for more." - http://www.goal.com
