Ryan Giggs could well be coming to the end of his stay at Manchester United.
Having first taken to the field for United as a wiry teenage winger in 1991, a report in the Sunday People claimed that Giggs – currently the club’s assistant manager – will leave Old Trafford if Jose Mourinho is given the manager’s job in the summer.
According to the report, the Welshman has been urged to work in a managerial role elsewhere by his former ‘Class of 92’ teammates and is now deciding if he should leave the club in the near future with executive vice chairman Ed Woodward unwilling to guarantee him the job when Louis Van Gaal leaves.
Jose Mourinho has been linked with the United job almost as soon as he parted company with Chelsea in December, with Van Gaal’s dull style of football angering many United supporters.
Despite many reports suggesting Mourinho will be appointed in a matter of weeks, the fact that United now have their hopes of a top four finish back in their own hands and an FA Cup Final to look forward too, Van Gaal may yet get to see out the third year of his contract.
It remains to be seen if Giggs would be willing to spend another year working alongside the current United boss.
