David Beckham sure Man Utd have great future boss in Ryan Giggs
Tuesday 6 October 2015 16:24, UK
David Beckham is convinced Ryan Giggs will be a successful Manchester United manager in the future.
The former England captain spent 11 years playing alongside Giggs in the United first team after coming through the club's famed youth academy.
Giggs is now assistant to manager Louis van Gaal and Beckham believes it is only a matter of time before the former winger takes the top job at Old Trafford.
"I have always said that Giggsy has this streak running through him that you see in top managers," Beckham said as he hosted the press at Old Trafford ahead of a charity game for UNICEF on November 14.
"I saw it as a player. He is so determined and when you have got someone like that at a club like this, someone who is from this part of the world and knows so much about this club - it's so embedded into him - it means so much to fans, so I hope that at some point Giggsy does take over.
"It might not be for the next five or 10 years but at some point it would be amazing for the fans to have him.
"To have Giggsy sat on the line preparing himself to become a manager is exciting."
The Match for Children will kick off at 3.00pm local time on Saturday, November 14 2015. Tickets from £20 (Adults) & £10 (Under-16s) now on sale at www.manutd.com/tickets
