“When he got to Giggsy, who was last, Giggs said, ‘Not a Manchester United player.’ And Moyes said, ‘Sorry I don’t know what you mean by that.’
“Giggs looked at Phil Neville, Phil sort of nodded, and said, ‘Look, playing for this club is more than being a footballer. It’s about your attitude. It’s about your mindset. It’s about everything that you want, everything in your body, every cell, has to want to live, play and win for Manchester United. I don’t think he’s a Manchester United player. And they immediately called off the transfer.”
