00:00...with high hopes for the future.

00:01Once it was about Greaves, Gilzeen, Mackay, Charlton, Law and Best,

00:05but today Ryan Giggs is back after missing Manchester United's FA Cup tie on Tuesday.

00:1019-year-old Giggs scored at Spurs back in September

00:13and renews acquaintance today with 18-year-old Nick Barnby.

00:17They played together for England's schoolboys.

00:19After that, Barnby signed for Spurs in the face of competition from Manchester United.

00:23Here's how the boys line up in a man's world today.

00:27As well as Giggs, Manchester United welcome back Paul Ince after a groin strain.

00:31Brian Robson has a calf injury, so it's McLear in midfield with Ince and an exciting attack.

00:37Spurs play the side that beat Marlowe in the FA Cup

00:39and Gary Mabbit makes his 350th league appearance for Tottenham.

00:45Referee today is micing each other with the first-time passes at the moment United.

00:49This is Pallister looking for Giggs.

00:56Shark number five, Hughes makes a run inside.

01:01Here's Cantona, Hughes is square and Cantona drove it against the legs of Torsbet.

01:09There was an opening there for the Frenchman and United.

01:12And Torsbet right out and he's done it again.

01:14But wait, here's Hughes and the goalkeeper is stranded.

01:17This is Giggs and Tottenham have got players back.

01:20Kicked away from near the line by Neil Ruddock.

01:23Forward by Parker and Torsbet's back in goal.

01:27That wasn't just an advance by Torsbet, it was an excursion.

01:30He was on by Cantona to Parker.

01:33And United have got five up again.

01:35Here comes Giggs.

01:37And here comes Shark.

01:38And again the goalkeeper saves Tottenham.

01:41To the relief of the right-back Austin who was all over the place there.

01:45Fell there but didn't get the better of Howells.

01:47Samuels in the game, a tremendous amount in this opening period.

02:03But he dwelt too long on the ball.

02:05This is Cantona.

02:07That was a foul but it could be an advantage.

02:09Neclaire!

02:10Torsbet again!

02:12And again!

02:13An inspired opening period here by the Spurs goalkeeper.

02:17It was an interesting attack that because somewhere here I thought there was a check.

02:20It was Mabbit possibly on Sharp.

02:22Then the other United player went down.

02:24And Mclare's shot was handled first by Torsbet who then threw himself at the feet of Hughes.

02:30Sharp coming in here.

02:33Hughes.

02:34Oh!

02:35No!

02:36Giggs coming in!

02:36Great save again Giggs!

02:38And again Torsbet!

02:39He's having a superhuman first half here, the goalkeeper.

02:45Nothing's getting by him.

02:46Here's...

02:47Here's...

02:47Irwin.

02:51All he could do to keep it in really and it's a United throw now.

02:58Sharp.

03:00Irwin.

03:04Cantona.

03:04It's in!

03:05It's Eric Cantona.

03:17Manchester United break through at last.

03:21The cross perfectly delivered to the far post.

03:23Cantona climb well and it dropped right in the far corner.

03:27Dennis Irwin provided the cross.

03:30And Cantona comes in here against Edinburgh and that is Cantona's fourth consecutive goal in the Premier League.

03:41The Premier League.

03:42Wake up.

03:44He's just don't know what he's going to do next.

03:46He's put Giggs in.

03:47And they're piling into the middle here.

03:49And it's been brilliantly turned round really.

03:53Dean Austin.

03:54Because they were flying in for the final touch.

03:59Giggs.

04:00It was who crossed it but it was Cantona yet again who set up the play.

04:04Clipped on by him in fact.

04:10It's Hughes now.

04:12Sharp just behind him.

04:15Irwin.

04:17Bruce is still forward.

04:18Cantona.

04:19Oh look at that pass.

04:21And he got Irwin in again.

04:22Oh that's brilliant.

04:25Dennis Irwin has scored but the return ball from Cantona was one of the passes of the season.

04:34This man is playing a game of his own.

04:38Irwin's finished brilliant.

04:40Hammered it past Torsbeck for 2-0.

04:43But the way that move built up and just look at the delicacy of that.

04:47He's put Irwin in beyond the last man.

04:50And after 52 minutes Manchester United go 2-0 up.

04:54Irwin who scored the last goal in their 5-0 win here against Coventry in the last league game.

05:00Gets the second today.

05:01Nice three.

05:04Brian McClare.

05:07Two goals in a minute.

05:10And the place has gone wild.

05:16McClare picked this up in space.

05:19And that's what you do when your confidence is high.

05:21Lined up the shot and drove it to Torsbeck's right.

05:30And Manchester United have turned a 1-0 lead into a 3-0 advantage in the twinkling of an eye.

05:36Position.

05:37This is McClare.

05:38And on goes Parker.

05:40Yes!

05:40It's Paul Parker with his first goal for Manchester United who makes it 4-0.

05:47And Torsbeck is absolutely stunned.

05:52He kept them out for so long and now he's seen it go past him four times.

05:5958 minutes gone.

06:00Great little ball from McClare that put Parker in.

06:03And a good finish.

06:04Well, I was chatting to Parker this morning and he was saying it's a long time since he'd scored a goal.

06:14It was back in his QPR days.

06:16He wants to come off.

06:17They've...

06:18Paul Parker clearing things up at the back.

06:22And there's quite a little conversation going on down there.

06:26The interpreter actually came out as well at that stage with Alec Ferguson.

06:30This is Hughes.

06:34Yes, I think that's more or less been decided now.

06:39He went off pretty quickly so the crowd didn't quite get the chance to give him the ovation that he deserved.

06:43Here's McClare.

06:45Down to ten men, Manchester United.

06:48They've used both their substitutes.

06:52But they've only got three minutes to go.

06:54Phelan.

06:56Anderton for Spurs.

06:59Who really ought to be working towards some sort of consolation now with the extra man.

07:02This is Sheringham.

07:07Nicely done.

07:08Barmby.

07:09Helped that on.

07:10Paul Allen.

07:12Barmby.

07:13And there's one back for Tottenham.

07:15They got the consolation.

07:16Nick Barmby.

07:18Against the club who wanted to sign him when he was a schoolboy.

07:22Scores a goal for Spurs late in the day.

07:26Number ten here is Teddy Sheringham.

07:28He's up against Steve Bruce.

07:30Nicely laid on there.

07:32First to Barmby.

07:34Then Allen.

07:35Allen's cross.

07:36And Barmby has made the ground into the area.

07:38To score with a header on 88 minutes.

07:41Now that for Nick Barmby is goal number six since he came into the senior side.

07:48And his output is good.

07:50All right.
