Vine: Louis van Gaal gives Ryan Giggs an almighty slap to the head at Manchester United awards

What a messer

Ben Kiely

Louis van Gaal is one of the few people who could get away with slapping a club legend like this.

there was a very amusing moment at the Manchester United Player of the Year awards ceremony on Tuesday night involving the United boss and his understudy.

Both van Gaal and Giggs were engaged in a bidding war for the wondrous opportunity of playing with Dwight Yorke at a charity golf event.

Van Gaal looked to have sealed it with his bid, but then Giggs had to come in with an even bigger bid. LVG fired back by cracking him with a forceful slap to the back of the Welshman’s dome.

All in jest, of course.
