Ryan Giggs: United are not ‘underdogs’ against Bayern Munich

Manchester United are not “underdogs” for their Champions League quarter-final with holders Bayern Munich, according to player-coach Ryan Giggs.

The 40-year-old also insists United can win the competition as they prepare for Tuesday's first leg at Old Trafford.

“Of course it is possible,” the midfielder said. “You need to play well, to get that little bit of luck.”

I’ve often wondered what Ryan Giggs secret to his long playing career was and now reading these comments the only answer I can come up with is drugs, copious amounts of drugs, because the word underdog was surely invented to be applied to a team in United’s situation and anyone who suggests otherwise has to be high on something.

The only chance United have over the two games against Bayern is that the starting XI Guardiola picks all, in a cartoonish style twist, have their brains switched with a pack of dogs and they all randomly charge about the pitch barking, chewing the football and licking themselves.


Even then I’d still be hesitant to back United, mind you it would take that to happen for me to watch because I’ll be watching Barca-Atletico at this stage of the competition I like to see a close competitive game not a walkover/exhibition.
