Giggs tells Man Utd to forget Moyes and 'play like United'

Interim boss wants to go back to the future - but is Roy Keane heading back to Old Trafford?

IN HIS first team-talk to the players as interim manager of the club, Ryan Giggs has declared "we will go back to playing like Manchester United", a statement that adds insult to injury for ousted manager David Moyes, who has pointedly refused to thank the players since leaving the club on Tuesday.

The 40-year-old Giggs, whose first outing as boss will be against Norwich City at Old Trafford on Saturday, knows he only has the job for the four remaining games of the season. However, he intends to make an impression, even though the Daily Telegraph reports that he has been informed by United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward that "he will not be considered for the manager's job on a permanent basis".
