Former Manchester United star Ryan Giggs backed acting boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Monday to permanently take the Old Trafford top job but called their upcoming Champions League fixture against PSG a “big ask”.
“I can’t see anyone past Ole at the moment. The record they’ve had in the league has been phenomenal,” Giggs said at a Champions League trophy tour event in Johannesburg.
“It’s a tough league and to put together the run that he’s done, it’s impressive. The Liverpool game, OK it wasn’t one of the best performances but they dug out a result.”
United will face an uphill struggle on Wednesday when they confront an invigorated Paris side who lead them 2-0.
“With the injuries we’ve got, the position we’re in, going to Paris is a tough place to go,” Giggs told AFP.
“Away from home has been — and they’ve been fine at Old Trafford — but the really impressive performances have been away from home.
“The players they’ve got are suited to playing away from home.
