Giggs: Fellaini repaying Faith

Marouane Fellaini has really proved his importance, stepping in for Paul Pogba. He has scored important goals, as he did at Everton, and I'm really pleased for him after taking a lot of stick over the years.

I've worked with him and he's a great lad to train because he does exactly what you want, and hasn't let the fans bother him because he's always had the support of the players and the coaches.

He is effective, knows his strengths and limitations, and he's somebody who Jose has put a lot of faith in and he has repaid that with some important goals.

The battle between Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial has also been great to follow. I could definitely see them in the same team, with Marcus being more of a natural centre-forward whereas Martial is more of a left-sided forward but can also play centrally.

They've got incredible pace so they are extremely dangerous, although to be considered top players they need to be scoring 20 goals a season.

I think it is too early to say it's a two-horse race in the Premier League. I've been in India so I didn't see Manchester City win at Stamford Bridge but you've got to take into account Chelsea's week, going to Stoke then getting a hard-fought win at Atletico Madrid.

I think Chelsea will still be in the mix but you've got to say City and Manchester United have been impressive and are the teams to beat.

I think we are seeing the managers, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, imprinting their own visions on their teams. In Pep's case, with the goals they score and the chances they are creating, it's exciting for City fans right now.

You see a bit of both at United, with a really strong defence but then scoring plenty of goals as well. The Southampton game was a good example, playing really well in the first half but then shutting up shop in the second.

We're still waiting to see if City can win games when they don't play as well, so the real tests await for both sides.
