Champions League setback for United

Manchester United’s Champions League ambitions suffered a big setback on Thursday with the news that Ryan Giggs will be out for a month with a broken arm. United clash with Italian giants AC Milan later this month in the last 16 of Europe’s most prestigious football competition. Giggs will miss both legs - and a reunion with former team-mate David Beckham - the Carling Cup final against Villa at Wembley on 28 February, plus a sequence of key EPL matches. The Welsh veteran should however be back for the crunch clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford on March 31. Giggs suffered the injury during the club’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Wednesday.
