With United playing Liverpool, then he will be in full support of Louis van Gaal as the Dutchman tries to insert his influence on the Red Devils. Giggs is very much the supporting coach and has the ear of the squad.
Ryan Joseph Giggs was born to mixed race parents, his father being Danny Wilson, a rugby league footballer, who was born in Sierra Leone. His mother was Lynne.When his father moved to Swinton to play for the local team, Giggs was suddenly part of the Manchester scene, leaving behind him Cardiff in South Wales. If only he had been born in England-when our need for a left sided winger was at its greatest.
His parents separated and Giggs took on his mother's surname. He then joined Manchester City but at 14 signed for United in 1987. He is now the right hand man of Louis van Gaal with a UEFA A Licence.
He was capped 64 times for Wales between 1991-2007 and captained GB in the 2012 Olympics. Giggs is the most decorated player in Premier League history with 13 PL winners medals, added to 4 FA Cup winners medals, 3 Football League Cups, 2 Champions Leagues, a World Club Cup, Intercontinental Club Cup, UEFA Super League, 9 Community Shields, PFA Young Player 1992 and 1993, BBC Personality of the Year 2009 an OBE in 2007 and the most assists in PL History, 271.
He played in the first 22 PL seasons and scored in very one of the first 21 PL seasons. There is more..
He is also involved in the Salford City venture with the "Class of '92" and has appeared in a number of films and documentaries. Along with Gary Neville, he owns a company called "GG Hospitality" and has been involved in building a Hotel like supporters' club for the United fans, a football themed Hotel at Old Trafford and a Cafe in Stratford, London.
Finally he is also an ambassador for UNICEF UK, has an honorary MA at Salford Uni and the Freedom of the City of Salford.
At the moment his team is still 0-2 down to Liverpool in the Europa Cup but he is investing his money sensibly.
