Ryan Giggs will be absent from a Manchester derby for the first time in 25 years. But in 1991, when he was just 17, he started his first game at United. The fact that it was against their rivals Manchester City made it all the more special.

The young Giggs scored the only goal of the game in the 22nd minute and ensured victory for his team. It was his first senior goal and it came at the expense of their longstanding enemies.

However, the goal was given as an own goal as it had deflected off Manchester CIty’s Colin Hendry.
