Ryan Giggs’ Dream Team will leave Irish fans extremely satisfied

Mighty XI

This team would take some beating.

Ryan Giggs has played with a crazy amount of top footballers.

Manchester United’s most decorated player of all time has selected his dream team for Sky Sports’ Fantasy Football Club and it is a sight to behold.

Giggs was only allowed to select players he had shared a pitch with. His playing career spanned 23 seasons at English football’s most successful side so that made his task a simple enough one.

The toughest decisions Giggs had to make were leaving high quality players, such as David De Gea, Nemanja Vidic and Dwight Yorke out.

There can be few arguments with the Welshman’s team, however, and a couple of reasons Irish fans will be pleased.

Denis Irwin takes Giggs’ left back slot and Roy Keane marshals the middle of the park alongside Paul Scholes.

Ryan Giggs XI

Like former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit, Giggs’ left an awful lot of seriously talented players out.

You could make three other high quality teams with the players not selected by United’s assistant manager.
