Nani, Ryan Giggs to start for Manchester United?

Reports claim that David Moyes is considering including both Nani and Ryan Giggs in his Manchester United team to face Olympiacos.

Manchester United manager David Moyes could reportedly turn to Nani for this evening's Champions League last-16 tie with Olympiacos.

The Red Devils go into the clash with a two-goal deficit following the opening leg between the two sides in Greece three weeks ago.

Moyes was heavily criticised from some quarters for his team selection that night, with the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Tom Cleverley, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young all included.

However, despite his side's need to win by three clear goals, the Scot is prepared to gamble on the fitness of Nani, who only returned to training last week following a three-month layoff with a hamstring complaint, according to the Daily Mail and The Times.

The reports added that player-coach Ryan Giggs is also being strongly considered by Moyes for a place in the starting lineup, while the boss confirmed yesterday that Shinji Kagawa would play some part.
