This will be the first time these two clubs have met since March 1975, when Ryan Giggs was 16 months old. Giggs will return to the city of his birth for this game and, with Michael Carrick and Phil Jones sidelined through injury, the Welshman has a chance of starting in central midfield. United may be without Nemanja Vidic but are looking for a fourth straight league win, and as Manchester City found out, Cardiff are no pushovers at home. Stuart James
