Ryan Giggs has vowed Man Utd’s upcoming glamour tie with Real Madrid will not avert their gaze from the prize of winning back the Premier League title.

The Red Devils winger admits it would be easy to get distracted by the last-16 Champions League clash against Jose Mourinho’s men next month.

We’re not thinking about the Madrid game.

Ryan Giggs

But the 39-year-old is experienced enough to know the pit-falls of looking too far ahead and the damage that that can do in the immediacy.

Giggs may have to settle for a place on the substitutes’ bench at Old Trafford tonight when United host an ever-improving Southampton.

The hosts are 1/4 to win the game and 9/1 to secure a 3-1 victory, while they are 1/1 to keep a clean sheet.

Don’t forget, if the match finishes 0-0, bet365 will refund all pre-match Correct Score, Half-Time/Full-Time and Scorecast bets with our fantastic Bore Draw Money Back offer.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s team could once again extend their gap at the top of the table to seven points with a victory, after neighbours Manchester City could only manage a draw at Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday evening.

And Giggs insists: “We’re not thinking about the Madrid game. Everyone was excited when the draw was made, but you just can’t look too far ahead.

“You want to perform in games like that and be in good form going into them. That is what we intend to do and the best way of achieving that is to concentrate on the opponents immediately ahead.”

Robin van Persie, who sat out the weekend FA Cup win over Fulham, is expected to return and will be looking to score for a sixth successive league game.

Man Utd v Real Madrid - Cristiano Ronaldo has backed Real Madrid to see off his former club Manchester United, when the Spanish giants continue their bid for a record tenth European crown.

The pair meet in the last 16 of the Champions League, with Real hoping to make up for a faltering league campaign by mounting a challenge in Europe, with their ninth title having come just over a decade ago.

If we play the way we are capable of, we can beat them.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Last season Real lost out on penalties to Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and Ronaldo is desperate to do better this term, starting by disposing of United.

“Every Madridista wants that tenth European Cup – we are more than aware of that,” Ronaldo told FIFA.com. “Last season we fell just short, which was very frustrating.

“The fact we face Manchester United next makes it more difficult. It is not going to be easy and I reckon the odds are about 50-50, but I am still very confident.”

“If we play the way we are capable of, we can beat them.”

Real and United have met in two previous ties in the Champions League era, with the Spaniards coming out on top in both 1999-2000 and 2002-03.

Madrid are 4/1 to win the Champions League this season, with United 14/1and Barcelona 2/1.

Don’t forget, all of the fantastic markets we have to offer, including In-Play betting, can be accessed on mobile or tablet with bet365 On The Move.
