Suggestions of a problem between the pair emerged when former midfielder Giggs was cool in his celebrations after Ashley Young's winning goal against Newcastle on Wednesday.

However, the 41-year-old dismissed talk of tension and praised United boss Van Gaal.

"It's coming to that part of the season where the media will look at any little thing to make it more exciting and more interesting," Giggs told BBC Sport.
