Yeah, it does really make a difference for us not playing any of Scholes, Carrick or Cleverley. Should still win this, but a Giggs/Anderson midifield doesn't make too much sense.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
We've been playing like this away in Europe for years. Last year being the exception.
thats +5 million.
Why is Giggs starting ahead of Scholes?
In fairness, none of them should be playing there. They're all converted attackers.
Nani looks like hes afraid of making any sort of a bad pass. Keeps it simple. I miss his more confident self.
Fergie has said he is keeping him fresh. Probably has one eye on the Xmas games
Scholes didnt travel.
Anderson being shite again sigh
Ah, that makes sense. We are certainly missing the little ginger bastard tonight though.
Scholes is old and Giggs is not.
Braga are doing well defending the right. Always have more than two players out there watching Valencia and Nani.
Means we should have space on the left, but need to move the ball faster.

Last year looked like we went for a defeat rather then a draw.
Intentionally losing, that must have been it, tricking everyone into thinking we were complete shit so they would underestimate us this year.
Ingenious.
The guy is an enigma.
Great goalkeeping.
come on ando, keep trying, good save by DDG
Lovely tracking back from Nani there.
Ddg. 
I doubt we are going to exert ourselves too much, only need a point to be sure of qualifixation
we are letting Braga get in to our box to easy
This pitch is too long. Very wet and heavy. Suits Braga because as you can see they lift almost every pass more than fifteen yards or so, but it's slowing our passing down horribly. Also means our players don't seem to have any acceleration, heavy heels all over the place.
Seeing Welbz walking around the middle just makes me want to shout "GET BACK TO YOUR WING!!!" over and over again...
good run back home from nani there
It's so not an enigma for anyone who pays attention. He needs to start with Carrick/Fletcher and Cleverley/Scholes. One ticker-over, one who brings tempo and guile, and one who can provide something a bit special. This isn't Anderson's fault at the moment, it's Fergie's. Is resting a couple of players really worth this happening every CL away game?
When do we just give up on Anderson?
Giggs playing as a defensive midfielder. We really have seen it all now, haven't we?
typical United away in CL.
flicking over to the Celtic game
I've yet to see Celtic in possession at the 4th or 5th attempt
doing well to be winning

its a traing role game for Giggs at the Cliff
Still have a feeling that we will score today
If we're winning late one day, would be great to give him a shift in goal. Round out the career.
Got that pre season feel about it.
that should have been a penaltyGod Anderson has a big arse
Penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never a yellow card
Pathetic reaction. Can't believe he got a yellow for that.
ffs ref, that was no yellow card!!
never a yellow
It's pretty much all Barca but the Bhoys have got into their half a couple of times. Briefly. The benefits of Sky Go!
