The fascination with the four-match Ryan Giggs managerial era is how the team fares each time he sends it out. For the visit of a resurgent Sunderland the outgoing champions make their penultimate home appearance of a bumpy campaign hoping to make it two wins from two under the Welshman. The £27.5m Marouane Fellaini will be hoping to return to the squad, having missed out against Norwich City last week. Jamie Jackson
