The winger claims that he was impressed with the club’s starlets after they put up a valiant effort in the 5-4 defeat especially considering that they were up against Chelsea’s first team.
Manchester United’s defensive woes were clearly evident after they failed to keep a hold of their lead during the Capital One Cup game at Stamford Bridge.
Buoyed by the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson opted for a relatively young line-up in order to get his Academy graduates some much needed game time at senior level.
Scott Wootton, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Keane and Nick Powell were given a chance to impress the former Aberdeen boss and although they weren’t able to contain the Blues’ onslaught of attacks, they will surely have learnt a lot from the game.
Giggs acted a major pivot in the middle of the park and controlled the tempo of the game; however at the age of 38 he wasn’t able to limit their opponents and ended up losing 5-4 AET.
Nonetheless, the former Manchester City man was pleased with the young outfit’s display and piled praise on the current crop of youngsters who have managed to graduate from Carrington with high honours.
“It’s tough to take. When you score four goals away from home more often than not you win the game. I’m proud of the young players who played, though. There were some great performances. They will have learnt a lot and you learn more from losing as well.”
He also added that United would take as many good points from the game as possible, so that they can learn from the experience and improve upon it in the future.
“You try and take the positives from a game like that but there are a lot of disappointed lads and rightly so because they put in good performances. But they’ll learn from it and the experience they’ll gain from this is more than they could ever get from
a reserve game,” the attacker was quoted as saying.
The Reds now face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 on the weekend and will look to grab all three points at Old Trafford following the mid-week disappointment.
