Bruce hopes his young guns go for it

STEVE BRUCE is keeping his fingers crossed that Jordan Henderson and David Meyler can do for Sunderland what Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes have done for Manchester United.

The four men could find themselves in direct opposition at the Stadium of Light on Sunday as the much-decorated United duo attempt to keep alive their dreams of adding another Barclays Premier League winners’ medal to their impressive hauls.

Giggs and Scholes, along with David Beckham, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers, have formed the basis of successive teams at Old Trafford for a generation after emerging from the youth set-up to drive forward Alex Ferguson’s domination of English football.
