Ryan Giggs is taking nothing for granted even though Manchester United's grip on the Premier League is beginning to strengthen

Ryan Giggs is taking nothing for granted even though Manchester United's grip on the Premier League is beginning to strengthen.

United head to Birmingham tonight still unbeaten following Sunday's win over Sunderland and with daylight starting to appear between them and their nearest challengers.

"It is a tough league and we need to be at our best in every game."

Yet the self-belief at Old Trafford must be fuelled by the knowledge United traditionally improve at this time of year.

It is rare for United not to kick on during January and there is a possibility that by the time they encounter Chelsea for the first time in March, they could be too far in front for Carlo Ancelotti's men to do anything about it.

"We hope to get better in the second half of the season," said Giggs.

"Our form over the last few weeks has been really good. We looked sharp against Arsenal and Blackburn, and it was the same against Sunderland. Some of the play we produced, the one-touch passing and the movement, was great to be involved in."

Giggs is anxious that a defence built around the axis of skipper Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand receives its share of the credit too.

"You need stability at the back and we definitely have that," he said.
