Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has revealed that interim boss Ryan Giggs' team talks remind him of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Van Persie said that he witnessed two team meetings under Giggs as he came in a bit late, adding that the one from he Sunderland game, and the other one before United's clash against Hull City, were incredible and branded them as 'Alex-esque'.

According to the Mirror, Van Persie said that Giggs is brilliant and has put in some fantastic passes, adding that the interim boss has almost scored after coming on.

The striker said that Giggs is a legend and feels that the veteran defender shows that everyday.

Giggs took charge of United after David Moyes got sacked as the club manager and has overseen two wins out of three matches since replacing the Scot, the report added.

The Welshman's final game in charge of United would be against Southampton this weekend, the report further added.
