Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has said that Ryan Giggs is the "best player" he has ever played with.

The Frenchman played for United between 2004 to 2008 and won the Premier League twice along with the Champions League.

The 34-year-old also played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, but he feels that the Welshman's commitment set him apart.

Saha told FIFA.com when asked about Giggs's quality: "Definitely the best player. So many players wish to play with him and if you do so, you know you'll be playing at a top level.

"Giggsy is a top example for any professional not only the youngsters because he's got that desire and respect for the tradition of the club and his work ethic. When you have the chance to work with someone like him it is a privilege."

Saha now plays for Serie A side Lazio having joined them in February after being released by Sunderland in January.
