After rekindling Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign in a post David Moyes era by moving the club’s press conferences back to where Ferguson held his weekly meetings, Interim manager, Ryan Giggs has vowed to restore the attacking philosophy that the club was known for, pre-David Moyes era.
“I trust you; I know what you’re capable of. Give the fans something to shout about – score goals, make tackles. That’s what they’ve done in training. Man United’s philosophy is to attack. We’ve got great players who are winners”. Giggs recalled what he told the players earlier in the week.
Dressed in his training gear, Giggs thanked former manager, David Moyes for giving him his first taste of management.
“He (Moyes) gave me the opportunity for my first coaching role. I'd like to say how proud I am to be managing for the remaining four games. The club I've supported all my life and been associated with for 25-26 years.
“It's probably the proudest moment of my career and one I'm going to enjoy for the last two-and-a-half weeks of the season. I want to bring smiles back to the faces of the fans.
“I look forward to Saturday. I can't wait for 5.30, the stadium will be bouncing. The players have looked good in training, they're looking good.
“It's been a frustrating season and we want to end the season on a high.”
It’s been a torrid season for the club as a whole after missing out on a top-four finish with the defeat by Everton last weekend. The resulting reaction from the club’s hierarchy was the sacking of Moyes and the appointment of Giggs to see out the rest of the season. Manchester United are now set to face relegation threatened side, Norwich on Saturday as Giggs, Scholes, Butt and Neville hope to help United finish off stronger. United are set to employ a permanent coach in the summer once the season is over and the name of Dutch tactician, Louis Van Gaal has been mulled.
