Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs insists there is no need to panic at the club's lukewarm start under new manager David Moyes, and believes teammate Shinji Kagawa has what it takes to make a big impression over the coming season.
United lost 3-2 to Yokohama F. Marinos in an exhibition match at Nissan Stadium on Tuesday night to leave the Premier League champions with two defeats from three games on their current preseason tour of Asia, denying Moyes the smooth transition he would have liked after taking over from Alex Ferguson three weeks ago.
Question marks hang over United ahead of the new Premier League campaign given the seismic shift in power after more than 26 years under Ferguson's command, but the evergreen Giggs is unconcerned as long as the team is up to speed in time for its Aug. 17 opener away to Swansea City.
