Giggs to move on?

Date published: 24 May 2016


CHRIS Coleman feels his former Wales team-mate Ryan Giggs could benefit from his 28-year association with United coming to an end.

Giggs' future at Old Trafford is unclear with Louis van Gaal's reign now over and former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho tipped as the man to replace him.

Whether assistant manager Giggs, who joined United on his 14th birthday in November 1987 and went on to become the club's most decorated player in making a record 963 appearances, stays at Old Trafford remains to be seen.

But Wales boss Coleman believes Giggs could benefit from a change of scenery and prove that is he the man to manage United one day.

"It will be hard for him to leave (United) but it might also give him that little bit of a spark," said Coleman.

"It would be a new challenge for him, something different and out of his comfort zone. He's a legend at United, but if he goes somewhere else he may find that little bit of a spring in his step. He's never been afraid of a challenge, I know that.

"He's a determined character and it could work in his favour."
