Apparently (from the match tracker), fortune isn't doing so well in the back right now, Giggs had to cover him once in a while..
This is from uefa.com
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, taking charge of his 100th Champions League game, is without defender Mikaël Silvestre after he was injured in the 1-1 draw with Leeds United AFC at the weekend. Wes Brown comes in to partner Gary Neville in the centre of defence. Phil Neville moves to right-back with Nicky Butt taking his place in midfield, while Louis Saha makes his Champions League debut in attack. As expected Roy Keane returns at the expense of Kleberson.
Porto, who are playing their first Champions League game at their new ground tonight, are missing some important players. Coach José Mourinho is without the suspended midfield player Costinha, long-term injury victim Derlei and recent signing Sérgio Conceição, who is ineligeble having played for S.S. Lazio earlier in the tournament. Maniche, Dmitri Alenichev and Carlos Alberto start, while striker Edgaras Jankauskas is left on the bench with Benni McCarthy preferred up front.
United get the game under way, playing from left to right in their traditional red and white strip. Porto are playing in their own famous blue and white
