Manchester United midfielder, Ryan Giggs, has brushed aside any chance of him returning to Wales as a player or coach, when they face England this March.

Giggs, who is 37 and has featured 64 times for Wales, is very interested in offering his assistance to Speed in some manner before the match. However he is firm on his decision to retire and says he will not be involved in the match as a player or coach.
Ryan Giggs said he will be in Wales with his family so he will possibly got to speak with Speed.
He said, ” I doubt that I will be involved in coaching but I talked to Speed and he said if there was any assistance I could give….”
“Gary and I have played together for the team and I want success for the Welsh team as much as he does.”
“I’m not going to be playing but I might go to see him a couple of days before the match.”
When asked further if he might play, Giggs replied that he won’t be going with his boots.
Ryan Giggs and Manchester United
Ryan Giggs hanged his boots on his international career back in 2007 to concentrate on his career with Manchester United which now spans some 20 years. Even at 37, Giggs is still a big feature in Sir Alex Furguson’s team.
During his time at United, Giggs has only played under one coach and believes that when the time comes for Furguson to be replaced, the new manager will have a huge mountain to climb.
He said, “It is a huge challenge. They will be replacing the most successful coach ever”
“He is always changing things, trying to build the teams age balance right and that should be able to help the next manager.”
Giggsl also believe the next United manager will inherit a very good team and that should help them get a good start. He thinks it will not be an impossible task but one that will be very tough.
Ryan Giggs also said he believe furguson will stay on much longer than he will at Old Trafford.
He said ” I simply don’t see Furguson leaving Manchester United in the near future.”
Giggs said he thinks Furguson will stay at Manchester United for at least another five seasons because he still have the desire to coach.
