Since the change of manager last summer, United have played below par - losing many local matches and fumbling in European competitions; like against Olympiakos when they were almost knocked out.
Following that poor run of form, majority of football spectators, all over the globe, have tipped Pep Guardiola's men to be favourites to survive the next stage; but the 40-year-old Welsh has rejected that global view.
“Obviously Bayern are a fantastic team. They are the holders. Pep Guardiola has took over, added a few new players and obviously they are a very strong team,” Giggs told reporters.
“And like you say, probably favourites in most people’s eyes.
“But we’re Manchester United, it’s at Old Trafford and we have seen so many great nights in Europe especially.
“As players, we don’t see ourselves as underdogs. We see ourselves as Manchester United playing at home
in the Champions League and we can’t wait.
“These are the games you want to be involved in as a player. We’ll go out and try and win the game, it’s going to be tough but it usually is in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but we’re confident, we’re looking forward to it.”
The match will take place on Tuesday evening at Old Trafford.
