Ryan Giggs has responded to his former teammate Roy Keane's claim that he'd be worth £2billion in today's transfer market, and seemed to agree with him.

The Welsh legend - speaking before Wales's World Cup qualifier against Austria in Cardiff on Saturday evening - told our friends from Wales Online that Keane's valuation of him shows that the Irishman talks "a lot of sense".

He also claimed that Keane - his former captain at United - would be priceless.

Giggs is often seen as a pundit these days

"He's always spoken a lot of sense has Roy!" said Giggs at an event for the Football Association of Wales's FAW Trust.

"I don't know about two billion but think Roy's point was that now you're seeing average players go for massive sums. You look back at some of the players we played with - what would they be worth now?

" Ruud van Nistelrooy , unbelievable goalscorer, you're just guaranteed goals every season. Think that was the point Roy was trying to make and he's right because it's just ridiculous. Doesn't look like stopping, just going up.

Giggs then gave his opinion on what Keane would be worth, saying: "You couldn't buy him because you look around the league and who is like him. (N'Golo) Kante's a fantastic player but Roy's better than Kante. He could do everything.

"When he came to United from Forest he was an attacking midfielder from box-to-box, getting beyond the centre-forward, scoring goals.

"Then he turned into a midfielder who controlled the tempo and with Scholesy was part of a fantastic midfield."
