“From his first press conference to walking out as United boss at Old Trafford, Ryan Giggs has meant business. He looks every inch a Man United manager. Nobody knows that club better than Giggs and if United really want to build for the future then why not give him the chance to do it?
He has won everything there is to win as a player and you could tell he had the respect of the players on Saturday. They looked like they were enjoying playing for him. He showed he is not afraid to make big decisions, either. He left Marouane Fellaini out of the squad and Juan Mata on the bench. That’s nearly £65m of talent not in your starting XI. There is no doubting Louis van Gaal is a top manager, but he is 62 and has a World Cup to prepare for this summer. Does he really know more than Giggs about what United need? He might do a job in the short term but it would not be too long before United have to start looking again for a new boss. Giggs might be inexperienced and would benefit from having somebody like Mike Phelan back alongside him. But Kenny Dalglish was only 34 when he took over for the first time at Liverpool and became one of the club’s most successful managers. There’s no reason Giggs can’t do the same.”
