Ryan Giggs is still relishing every moment playing for Manchester United, who he believes is the best team in the league.
The United veteran is arguably the best the most successful player in English football, having won 11 Premier League titles, four FA Cups and two Champions League titles.
Approaching his 37th birthday, one would hardly have imagined the Welshman still dazzling with his skills at Old Trafford after two decades at the club.
But Giggs admitted that he still enjoys every moment in the United shirt and is looking forward to a brand new challenge this season.
"I grew up as a United fan and in football you always want the challenge," said Giggs as Sir Alex Ferguson's men prepare to open the new campaign with the visit of Newcastle to Old Trafford," he spoke during an interview with CNN.
"It's the biggest club in the world as far as I'm concerned and I still get a buzz when I play for United. We've experienced this kind of thing before.
Over the recent years, the dominance of United has been under siege with cash-rich clubs like Chelsea and now Manchester City.
But Giggs is adamant United have proved money does not necessarily buy success and that they still have the best team in the league.
"When I first got into the team, we experienced it with Blackburn when they had a lot of money, and we overcame that.
"Chelsea were similar. They won two leagues, but then we won three when they were spending a lot of money, so we overcame that as well.
"Now it's City who are spending. But it all depends on whether their team gels.
"They've got good players, but I still think we've got better players individually - and I think we're a better team than all the other teams in the Premier League."
The 36-year-old added that expectations and disappointments are part and parcel of life at the top and hopes the youngsters at United will learn from the experience.
"You always get expectations when you're with United.
"You're expected to win every game and every cup you enter - that's just how it is. But I think we have a good balance of experienced players and young players coming through.
"We had a bit of a disappointment last season, not winning the Premier League or the Champions League.
"Hopefully disappointments like that will help the younger players, like they helped me. Hopefully it will make them stronger."
Despite spending £25million this summer on youngsters like Chris Smalling, Javier Hernandez and Bebe, Sir Alex Ferguson will still be relying heavily on his old guards like Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Edwin van der Sar.
Van der Sar, who turns 40 in two months, revealed that it's the disappointments rather than successes that drive the old boys like himself on.
"I've won a few things in my career and people always ask, ‘Is that not enough?'
"But there can always be more. I don't think about the things I have won, but about the things that I've lost.
"Like the Champions League Final I lost in Rome in 2009. I don't think about the won I won in 2008."
