Ryan Giggs could be calling it quits at Manchester United
He's been a part of the club for almost 30 years.
It’s being reported that Ryan Giggs is leaving United after 29 years at the club.
Giggs, who made a record 963 appearances for the club, had one more year on his contract as assistant manager but new boss Jose Mourinho is expected to give that role to Rui Faria.
The Old Trafford club had hoped Giggs could be persuaded to stay on in a different role but the 42-year-old Welshman appears to have decided to move on.
His departure would break one of the club's strongest remaining links with the glorious Sir Alex Ferguson era.
For two decades Giggs has been at the heart of the success enjoyed by United's all-conquering side under Ferguson and it will be strange to see him working anywhere but Old Trafford in future.
His first steps into coaching over the past two seasons under Louis van Gaal - after calling time on his illustrious playing career - have not gone smoothly.
Indeed, his close association with the much-criticised style of Van Gaal probably damaged his hopes of succeeding the Dutchman as manager.
But as he moves on in hope of furthering his coaching career elsewhere, the Welshman does so as nothing less than a hero.
