Ryan Giggs is off though. Or so they’re saying in France after it was revealed that Louis van Gaal’s number two is “losing patience.”

SoFoot.com are breaking Manchester United exclusives again and it spells bad news for the 29 years Ryan Giggs has spent at Old Trafford since he was a youth player.

It’s been a bizarre period to be a fan of the Red Devils. Apparently Jose Mourinho already has a start date with United. Apparently Jose Mourinho – the unemployed Jose Mourinho – has already made his first signing for United. Louis van Gaal’s United. Jose Mourinho has also started selling United players – Louis van Gaal’s players.

And, now, these links with Jose Mourinho is set to drive Giggsy away from the club he loves so well.

It’s being said that Giggs is after the main job after assisting with both David Moyes and Louis van Gaal throughout their underwhelming campaigns thus far.

With rumours rife that Mourinho is on his way next season to set up a Manchester duel with old foe Pep Guardiola, reports are saying that will be the end of Giggs’ long-standing relationship with the club because he “would not want to work under the command of Portuguese”.

If the finishing touches really are being put to Jose Mourinho’s contract, then it would spark the departure of a legend. And we don’t just mean van Gaal.
