Every Manchester United player put in a proper shift against Olympiacos last night and it was the first time that fans had seen genuine passion and desire from United’s players in a long time.
However good every player was, there were two stand-out performances from David de Gea and Ryan Giggs.
At both ends, they were instrumental. De Gea kept United in the game with a stunning double save that kept the momentum going for United while Giggs rolled back the years with a performance that made us remember just how good he still is.
Here’s what United fans had to say about the duo on Twitter:
Three goals and clean sheet! Never thought i'd see the day. Massive result.

Almost forgot the incredible double save from @D_DeGea who was crucial as well. Enjoying myself here with @ChampionsLeague nights #MUFC

De Gea in particular – should be runaway winner for our Player of the Year. Consistent brilliance in consistently trying circumstances.
