10 things we learned from Ryan Giggs' first game in charge!!

Posted on 04:24 by
1. He loves suits.
Despite only being interim boss - and a player/boss at that - Giggs suited up on the Old Trafford touchline, shunning the
tracksuit and boots option.




 Like his
predecessor Moyes he opted for the red and
white tie; presumably not the same one,
Moyes probably took that with him in his
cardboard box.
2. He doesn't care for big
money signings
Giggs don't care if you were brought to Old
Trafford for £37m, if you aint good enough
it's the bench for you, matey! Juan Mata was
relegated to the bench after last week's
disappointment at Everton while Marouane
Fellaini - another Moyes signing - was told to
not bother bringing his boots and wasn't
even in the matchday squad.
3. He's a tactical genius!
When he did introduce Mata to the action
the little Spaniard scored after a mere three
minutes, making Giggs look like the biggest
substitution boss ever. He then added a
second soon after. Perhaps he has worked
out how to get the best out of the £37m
midfielder already! (Or maybe it was just that
he brought on Mata against a really terrible
Norwich side).
4. He likes the old guard
Giggs paired Nemanja Vidic and Rio
Ferdinand at the centre of United's defence
for only the sixth time in the league this
season - and the second time since they
were humiliated 4-1 at arch rivals City.
Vidic and Ferdinand - with a combined aged
of 67 - haven't featured together domestically
since United won 2-0 at Palace in February,
but fortunately were rarely troubled by a
toothless Norwich attack.
5. He's runs on Fergie time
No sooner had the game kicked off was Giggs
already tapping his watch and eyeballing the
ref, just like Uncle Fergie. Clearly he's been
studying the 'How to Manage Like Ferguson'
text books closely.
6. He doesn't care for celebrating
Thankfully, though, he hasn't inherited
Ferguson's terrible little jump/double first
pump goal celebration that blighted his 27-
year career at Old Trafford and threatened to
take the shine off all those trophy winning
seasons. Giggs instead opted for a polite clap
that wouldn't have been out of place at the
Opera.
7. He looks young in embroidery
Whoever made this scarf has made
Giggs look muuuuuuch younger than he is.

To celebrate Giggs' first game as United
gaffer some loom-wielding nut made a
special scarf for the occasion, but managed
only to make the 40-year-old player/manager
look like a 20 something whipper snapper.
No doubt Giggs snapped one of these bad
boys up to remember the good times.
8. He loves Wayne Rooney
The United No.10 was the only ray of
sunshine in an otherwise turgid first half and
the Red Devils only really came to life when
he curled home a lovely second goal after
the break. Without him United certainly
wouldn't have won so handsomely against a
poor Norwich side and Giggs will be thankful
the toupéed one is fit and in form.
9. He's still got it
Suit trousers and loafers? No bother! Giggs
showed a silky touch during the game when
the ball bounced towards his technical area,
displaying the skills that made his playing
career such an illustrious one and giving
United fans hope that if all else fails he can
don his boots again and do a decent job on
the pitch.
10. Maybe Moyes wasn't so bad
United looked their usual sluggish self in the
opening 45 minutes under Giggs, showing no
immediate signs of improvement despite
Moyes' departure. They were saved by
Rooney's brace and but in truth looked low
on confidence and out of ideas until Mata's
quick double in the second half when the
game ended as a contest.
Giggs certainly has a job on his hands if he's
going to turn them back into the well oiled
machine that used to churn out trophies.
