Ryan Giggs would still like to score a goal tonight and may well feature


“The perfect scenario is me coming on and scoring a goal, the winning goal. Hopefully everyone will be happy, but it doesn’t always work like that. We’ll have to wait and see what happens on the night. I’ll have to take that into consideration, but I also want to win the game as manager as well. I want to do what’s best to win the game and not just make room for me in the starting line-up or on the bench.”

Nemanja Vidic on his Manchester United career - working for the best and no regrets. Let’s give him a great send-off tonight


"I have great memories. To win five titles and the Champions League, I couldn't dream of winning that many titles and of playing with so many great players. I have learned a lot, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well. I have been playing for the greatest manager ever, I believe. It was a great experience and this is going to be the best part of my career, these years with United. Manchester United make you feel part of the family. I have developed as a man at this club, it has been a great experience for me and my family. I have nothing to regret, I have given 100 per cent."

"I was unhappy with the Sunderland result, but the good thing is that on Tuesday we play again in Old Trafford. It's our last game at home this season and we want to have a decent farewell in front of our fans, with a good game and a victory. They have given us remarkable support throughout the last year and that shows the greatness of the club and the loyalty of our fans in the good and, in particular, the bad moments."

Ryan Giggs on advice from and facing old mate Steve Bruce


“I have spoke to Brucie and Ole, two ex-team-mates. One has been in management for 15 or so years and the other has not been in management so long. It was great as both gave me different bits of advice. Will I take any notice of Brucie? I won’t on Tuesday night! With Brucie, I spoke to him about picking the team. I said to the press that the hardest thing was leaving people out, so he gave me a bit of advice on that.”

Steve Bruce on Ryan Giggs’ future - play for Hull!

"He can come and see out his days at the KC Stadium, playing in the Europa League. If he's available on a free, I'd take him. It's a difficult one to call. If it is Van Gaal for United, I'm sure he'll have his own opinions. But there's always going to be a place for Ryan, I'm sure, because he's been a great. I'm sure they'll find a space for him somewhere. I don't think he'll leave. He will be treated properly, I'm convinced of that. He'll have some role to play. They'll not mess him about, that's for sure."

"We know it has been tough this season and over the years we have been spoiled with the success we have had.

"Your support this year has never changed, you have always supported the team and the staff. I'm sure in the coming years we will bring you more success.

"I would just like to say, keep supporting us, you have seen a little glimpse of the future, and this is what this club is about.

"It never stands still, we always give youth a chance and we try and play attractive football.

"Sometimes we don't win, but we give it our all. Keep supporting us and the good times will come back soon."
