Ryan Giggs agrees with Roy Keane, calls transfer market 'ridiculous'

Ryan Giggs feels his former team-mate was right to raise concerns over the transfer market, but can only see fees continuing to increase.

Manchester United icon Ryan Giggs believes the transfer market has become "ridiculous" as he responded to Roy Keane's claim he would be worth £2 billion if he was still playing.

Ex-United winger, coach and assistant manager Giggs backed his former captain's concerns over the transfer fees being paid for average players.

Keane felt his old United team-mates like the Welshman, Ruud van Nistelrooy and David Beckham would be worth 10-figure sums if they were available today and questioned the level of spending on players who are not in the top bracket of global stars, due to the effect the biggest deals have on the rest of the market.
