Salford City face Manchester City in their FA Cup third round debut on Saturday, and they have had some help from Man Utd in preparing for the game.
Manchester United let Salford City use the indoor training facility at their old Cliff training ground this week, as the Ammies battled weather disruptions to prepare for their FA Cup third round clash with Manchester City on Saturday.
That left the Class of 92 to call in a favour from their old club. Ryan Giggs is now hands-on as director of football at Salford and helped broker the deal that saw Littleton Road become Salford's first full-time training ground. With the iconic Cliff venue just down the road, he helped Robinson and his players get access to the indoor pitch there this week, although it hasn't been without its problems.
Robinson and his staff were grateful for United's help and they trained at the Cliff again on Thursday, with Paul Scholes in attendance. Robinson is also grateful for the involvement of Giggs and the rest of the Class of 92. Giggs has become a regular presence on the bench next to Robinson, as well as being director of football, and the boss relishes the involvement and advice.
