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.
All those CM options on the bench and Fergie opts for Giggs next to Carrick. Let's see how it pans out, but I'm very surprised!
Jesus!
Why would you have Giggs starting in the midfield when Cleverley and Anderson are available.
Ridiculous!

His experience pulled us through at Anfield. Or so I'm told.
Cleverley rested after playing for England midweek.
Where's Ando and Cleverley?
Too young. You have to be over 37 to start in CM along side Carrick.
No wonder pogba left. How is Ando not getting a game?
Injured against Braga, 10 days out. Will hopefully play at Galatasaray.
Must goodness, first Carrick and Scholes last week, now Carrick and Giggs this week. Why hasn't Fergie realized that playing 38 year olds with Carrick just doesn't work?
Giggs is just a name now. The player is gone
He's injured
Not exactly a lineup filling you with confidence. All on RVP and Hernandez to outscore them.
Wonder if Nani has a knock.
Yeah today...but there are always a few in every single match

Show some respect guys, it's Sir Ryan Giggs. I have no doubt he is good enough to start for us.
There is no Rooney to cover for them. Hope I am wrong but this seems like a recipe for disaster.
Yes, he has. He was out for 10 days, I guess he'll travel to Turkey.
SHUT THE feck UP YOU IDIOTS!!
youd swear he was starting some random overweight 16 year old.

Ah yeah, remembered he received a knock. Bench looks a bit light without him and Rooney...
Ando clev fletch and scholes on the bench.
Mmm midfielders. And giggs ahead of all of them.

I have. I love Bobby Charlton, Roy Keane and Eric Cantona...doesn't mean they are still good enough.
We were overrun last year in this fixture with Carrick and Scholes in the middle. Obviously putting Giggs in there instead of Scholes will change this.
Why won't he trust Anderson, he has looked decent this year.
Because he can't play a full game.
He'll come on the pitch for the last 20 minutes today and start in Turkey.
if he had his wisdom out today i understand it. Had two of mine and it was a prob for about two hours
If Fergie feels that Anderson and Cleverley aren't up to the task, why haven't we bought a midfielder in the summer? Or does he genuinely believe that there are no better options available on the market than a 38-year old Giggs or Scholes?
Sam Johnstone on the bench?
i can understand if cleverley is benched. he played for england a few days ago.
feel for ando though. has been in good form and deserves a start.
giggs, now please put in a good performance. has been a very long time since you had one.

What would you prefer to see then considering all you do is complain about people complaining?
Yep, he's not been away anywhere, so should be fresh, don't see the point of giggs now when we want to see ando progress, could easily have used giggs as the experienced head in what is likely to be an inexperienced team in midweek. Still giggs was impressive against Chelsea but then again I think playing in a 3 made a big difference for him.
Yeah, I like him.
Don't think so. Need a few days to get rid of the swelling.
While I'm not as histerical about Giggs starting, I do wonder how we plan to help the progress of the younger lads if the older ones keeping getting picked ahead of them, even if not quite on merit at all.
If I was Anderson, I'd want out. No point in waiting around when someone like Giggs seems to be ahead of you.
You can see why Pogba would want to leave really.
And Young, Valencia and Giggs? This is going to be one frustrating night
I'd rather he start and then be subbed when he tires than come off the bench, his form deserves him to get a starting place.
I wonder how many times Giggs is going to play that fecking ridiculous floated pass to just inside their penalty area that the defender always nods away with ease and the attacker hasn't a chance in hell to either direct it towards goal or bring it down.
I'm going to count them.
That pass winds me up more than anything on a football field. I've never ever in my entire life seen anything come of it and it still gets played 4 or 5 times a game. It's Giggsy's favourite.
