Giggs calls on Man Utd to go for Europa League

Manchester United interim boss Ryan Giggs says they should embrace the Europa League - if they qualify for the competition today.

Giggs is determined his side should try and give it their all to win at Southampton even though Wayne Rooney is still unavailable after only recently returning to training from a groin injury.

"It is a consideration with my team selection as I want to be in Europe. I think United should be in Europe. Obviously everyone wants to be in the Champions League but with the squad we have got it would be good if we were in Europe," said Giggs.

"I don't think Liverpool (who have not been in Europe this season) have the size of squad that we've got. I know from the last few weeks the selection problems you do have and that the manager will have next season if there is only one game a week.

"It could be beneficial if we were in the competition. It could bring on players or give people games where they need it. 'I played in Europe at 17 and 18 and it helped me as it was a different experience. It definitely brings you along quicker."
