Giggs to sit out Arsenal clash
27/04/2011 11:00, Report by Adam Marshall
Sir Alex Ferguson will reward Ryan Giggs for another stunning performance with a rest during Sunday's Premier League showdown at Arsenal.
The manager has a selection dilemma ahead of the trip to London, with Dimitar Berbatov hoping to be fit and Nani desperate for a start after coming on as a substitute on Tuesday night.
Anderson and Paul Scholes, who also had a taste of action against Schalke, are competing for Giggs' midfield place at the Emirates Stadium but the veteran Welshman still has the boss' praise ringing in his ears.
"It is a strange thing because Ryan's peak seems to have lasted so long now," said Sir Alex.
"You would think at 37, he would be showing signs of waning. I don't see any evidence of that. We look after him in terms of rest before games.
"He won't be playing on Sunday. He maybe will play next Wednesday. That is the way we have to deal with him now. When he gets that freshness, he doesn't show any sign of fatiguing at all. He is an amazing man."
Sir Alex's dilemma
"We've got selection problems now but that's what we want. We've got an important game on Sunday against Arsenal. It'll be a different team but hopefully we'll get the result we want."
