Ryan Giggs gave his detailed take on Manchester United’s start to the season after their 2-0 win over Southampton on Friday Night Football.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s double gave United their third competitive win of the campaign out of three under Jose Mourinho, and Giggs was on the FNF panel alongside Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Jamie Redknapp to give his views.
