The former United legend spoke about the situation on 'Rio Ferdinand Presents', where he explained why Palmer would be perfect for the team at Old Trafford.
“Yes, it would fit. He's a boy from Manchester. Where would he obviously play with Bruno at number 10? He could play on the right, possibly. But yes, we are talking about Hojlund and Sesko, but only Bruno is constantly creating things.
What if Bruno has a bad day or is injured? You need three or four players in the squad who can produce something for the attackers to put the ball in the goalGiggs said.
