Ryan Giggs set to end 29-year association with Man United - reports

The Welsh coach is understood to be on the verge of quitting Old Trafford.

RYAN GIGGS IS understood to be on the verge of ending his 29-year association with Man United, according to a number of British media outlets.

The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mirror and The Times are reporting that Giggs is set to reject a new role that the club have offered him as a link between the U21s and the first team.

Consequently, with Mourinho expected to hire assistants Rui Faria and Silvino Louro as part of his backroom staff, there will be no room for the Man United legend, who was previously player-coach under David Moyes and assistant boss during Louis van Gaalโ€™s reign.

Having been overlooked for the managerโ€™s job, Giggs โ€” who joined Man United as a schoolboy in 1987 and made his first-team debut in 1991 โ€” is understood to be keen on proving himself as a coach elsewhere.

Giggs, who has one year left on his current deal with the club, made 963 appearances for United during a decorated playing career, winning numerous trophies during that time, including 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues and four FA Cups.

    Iโ€™d love to hear the refโ€™s conversation with Giggs, someone whos been playing football for the vast majority of his near 40 year existence.

    โ€œNo Ryan! You have to touch the ball from a corner! You cant dribble it!โ€

    โ€œAh wha?!โ€

    As a Barรงa fan I adore Sergio Busquets but he can be embarrassing at times (actually a lot of the time).
    Sky Sports describe him as a street fighter type player. Perfect description if they are talking about Sesame Street.

    If youโ€™re going to show that Joe Sheridan goal then you should also show Louthโ€™s JP Rooney kicking the ball away from a Meath player who was trying to take a free just a few minutes beforehand, the reason so much injury time was played.
