Bitter rivals Manchester City will play Chelsea tomorrow in what boss Roberto Mancini has hailed as a make or break tie.
Rafael opened the scoring with a spectacular first-half volley and evergreen Giggs sealed the win 10 minutes from time.
The legendary Welshman was exceptional throughout as he used his experience to control the game and set up his side's win.
Rangers fans meanwhile will be happy to see Loic Remy come off the bench and will hope the Frenchman can find form for their remaining fictures.
Mexican striker Javier Hernandez almost opened the scoring with a cheeky flick header but Julio Cesar was alert to the danger.
United were marginally the better side and beginning to threaten when Rafael unleashed a stunning volley to put them ahead in the 23rd minute.
Cesar did well to beat out Robin van Persie's cross but the full-back was first to the ball and rifled it home from the edge of the area.
Displaying his immaculate technique the Dutchman volleyed across Cesar but the keeper got down well to turn it wide.
Rangers would not have been expecting three points from a difficult encounter and will now turn their attention to their remaining 11 matches.
