‘It is not my responsibility. It is not my fault’
Ryan Giggs departed Manchester United this week with very little fanfare considering that he had given the best part of 30 years of his life to the club.
There was to be no partnership with new manager Jose Mourinho, no role for one of the club’s greatest ever players at Old Trafford.
There had been suggestions that Mourinho had made no effort to contact Giggs after being appointed manager and this had made up the Welshman’s mind to leave the club.

Speaking on ITVÂ earlier this week Giggs said he left because he wanted to be a manager but also revealed that his immediate future might be in TV punditry.
Jose Mourinho was unveiled as United’s new manager on Tuesday and denied that he had any responsibility for Giggs’ departure.
JM: "It's not my responsibility that Ryan is not in club. The job Ryan wanted was manager's job. And the club decided that was job for me."

JM: "Ryan wants to be a manager. He could have had any position. The manager wanted to give him any position in the club." #mufc

JM: "He (Giggs) was brave. He was honest so good luck to him. If he wants to come back when I'm here,
I will always say yes."— James Ducker (@TelegraphDucker) July 5, 2016
