#2 1990-1992: The Beginning
"He was wearing a No 14 shirt that was too baggy for him and just looked like a skinny kid gliding across the pitch. Even then his pace stood out straight away, even if it was an unremarkable game from a United point of view as we won 2-0." – Former Everton and Arsenal player, Martin Keown on Ryan Giggs’ debut.
Ryan Giggs signed his professional contract for Manchester United in December 1990 at the age of 17. Giggs made his professional debut against Everton in Old Trafford on March 2 1991. He had scored his first goal for the club against Manchester City on his first start for the club but wasn’t a regular yet with Ferguson choosing Lee Sharpe over Giggs for the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final.
He became a regular starter during the 1991-1992 season and captained the youth team, which consisted of many “Fergie’s Fledglings”, to win the FA Youth Cup Final in 1992. He later said that his days in the youth team were some of his best claiming that “ lifting the trophy with those lads, the ones I grew up with, was a fabulous feeling.”
He won the PFA Young Player of the Year Award and won his first piece of silverware for Mancester United when they beat Nottingham Forest in the League Cup final.
