Ferguson Backs Giggs To Replace Van Gaal As Manchester United Coach

Manchester United assistant Ryan Giggs is the right man
to succeed manager Louis van Gaal, according to former
boss Alex Ferguson.
Giggs, 41, was appointed Van Gaal’s right-hand man last
season and the United icon is seemingly being prepared
for the top job once the Dutchman departs in 2017.
However, reports have emerged recently that Bayern
Munich coach Pep Guardiola is United’s first choice to
replace Van Gaal.
Ferguson, though, is under no illusions who should take
the reins.
“I think Ryan has all the qualities to be a fantastic
manager,” the 73-year-old and 13-time Premier League
winner said via the Mirror.
“I have heard it said that he will have to go to another
club first because he doesn’t have enough experience.
“But he is gaining experience working with Louis van
Gaal and he also had experience working with David
Moyes and working under me as a player.
Van Gaal’s contract is due to expire in two years and the
64-year-old Dutchman has given no indication whether
he will renew his contract.
