Ryan Giggs | United confirm he's left

[Jacko21]

Personally I'm sad to see him go, but clearly he feels the need to move on and I respect that. Hopefully in the coming years he'll prove his worth and rebuild his reputation amongst the United fans who have seemingly forgotten his 24 years of service as a player and now associate him with the failed regimes of Moyes and Van Gaal - despite not knowing the extent to which Giggs was able to impart his ideas and experience.

Best of luck Giggs. Go and prove the naysayers wrong and make those who have derided you question their own judgement.

 

[Salus Populi Suprema Lex]

Legend. He'll return at some point and in some capacity.

The story of Ryan Giggs at United isn't over. I look forward to eagerly watching his nascent managerial career unfold.

 

[stu_1992]

Good luck Giggsy. Say day to not see him associated with Man United anymore. I absolutely believe it's the right decision if he has aspirations for the United job in the future. What a career though.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

The right decision in the interest of all parties involved. Hope he turns out to be a cracking manager.

 

[united_99]

Thanks for the memories Giggsy and hope to see you back at United one day

 

[Adam-Utd]

I'm not sad as its a positive move. He needs to get out there and prove himself, get out of the United shadow.

He will be back and hopefully after being successful. Good luck giggsy.

 

[JPRouve]

I can't wait to see him manage.

 

[spwd]

Two roads leading to Gigg's succession to the throne ended in cul-de-sacs. Had no other choice but to choose another road and see where that leads him.

Very well put!

 

[JB7]

As prepared as I was for this as we all knew it was happening, it doesn't make it any easier to read the statements. I'm gutted to see him leave even though I completely understand the reasonings from both sides and agree that it's the right time. He's just someone - like Fergie or Sir Bobby (I know he went away and came back before anyone says) - that you just thought would always be there.

All the best Ryan, hope to see you back at the club in the future. You lived all of our dreams.

According to this Wiki list only the Oldham job is available in the top 4 divisions in England currently.

I hope he does the right thing and start to build his name/experience in the lower leagues rather than being recycled through prem/championship clubs every 12 months.

Good luck Giggsy.....and behave yourself!

 

[spwd]

Thank feck for that!!




Absolute legend, very sad to see you go but the best for all parties,good luck!

 

[Green_Red]

Stand up and applaud one of the best players we are ever likely to see in a Manchester United shirt. For all his personal issues, on the football pitch and in a United shirt he was untouchable...

 

[MounchesterUtd]

Giving #11 to Zlatan could be the ultimate tribute to him. Januzaj did not do the shirt justice at all.

 

[united_99]

It's unbelievable how long he could keep himself fit physically and mentally to play in such a tough league. Since 17!
No one will ever match that and no one will ever win 13 league titles, let alone PL titles.

 

[Frasbul]

I am a bit excited for the future, but also very sad that the United I fell for doesn't really exist anymore.

 

[cully84]

What a player he was,lets hope his managerial carrier is half as good and he eventually ends up back home.

Legend.

 

[Black Adder]

Good luck to him, hope he proves himself as a great manager which can only lead to him coming back.

 

[Kostur]

Sad to see him go but that's the right decision. Player I always looked up to as a kid, my all time favourite, my manlove if I ever had one. All the best Giggsy, hope you tear them apart, again.

 

[bcubed]

Good luck Giggsy. Say day to not see him associated with Man United anymore. I absolutely believe it's the right decision if he has aspirations for the United job in the future. What a career though.

No worries there mate, he'll forever be associated with Man Utd. For the foreseeable future, every time he is mentioned in the press it will be "former Manchester United player/assistant manager Ryan Giggs".
I am personally pleased he's made this decision and nothing would delight me more, than for him to succeed and return as our manager in the future.

 

[Shark]

Correct decision, no doubt about it. Wish him all of the best and I hope he returns one day if he proves himself the manager that he thinks he is.

 

[Hed Zitin]

I don't think it's sad he's going. He's going outside the club to become a manager and improve himself. It's a good thing for him.

He'll always be a legend and if he doesn't turn out to be any good at management I'm sure he'll find a role back here anyway.

Wish him every success.

 

[podurban2]

I'd like to see him go to the Scottish league.

 

[top1whoisman]

Sad but necessary. Thanks for everything, Sir Ryan.

 

[vk20legend]

Thank You Ryan Giggs for all the memories and your contribution towards making United successful..

He'll always be a legend. Had he played in this era at his prime, we're probably talking a world record fee. A true one club man who gave his best for the club. I wish him the best for the future.

 

[ThanksBoss26]

The right move for all parties at the moment but still a tinge of sadness about it for me.

Hope he goes and proves himself elsewhere and gives himself the chance to return one day.

A legend. Good luck to him.

 

[The Taurean]

Sad to see him leave the club. He is an icon representing the club for so long and would have liked him to take the reins at the reserves level before moving on to higher level.
Hope to see him back at the club in a successful capacity in future. Wish him all the best.
Thank you for everything Ryan Giggs.

 

[gorky_utd]

Absolute legend.Best of luck for your future Ryan.

Just up the road and a good little club that could provide him the chance to learn his managerial trade. Stranger things have happened.

 

[Devil81]

Actually laughed out loud at the fact he ignored David Moyes in his open letter to the fans.

Thanks for the memories Giggsy, now go make a career for yourself and one day return to the club.

A great servant for United and one to be called a legend, I very much doubt we will see the likes again. I have had many great memories of the lad and he is what United is all about, I sincerely thank you and I wish you every success for the future.

 

[Magnus]

Tear them apart Giggsy, I will miss you

 

[Pexbo]

He's big, he's black, he's Ryan Giggs!

He was a top winger for us when fit.

 

[RedPnutz]

A legend, always fondly remembered. All the best.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Doesn't seem real. Guess it was always going to happen at some stage, though.

I just hope that if he does go into management, he is really successful, because I'd like to see him managing United one day.

 

[Bruno8]

Thanks for the memories Giggsy. You are a true legend and there will never be another one like you. All the best

 

[Bruno8]

Think there has been a concerted affort by Woodward/Glazers to get rid of anyone connected with SAF from the Club ever since Moyes left.
Paul McGuinness was pushed out,
Mclair left,
Butt only got the Head of Academy after some negayive articles about the shambles at the Academy but Ed was frustrating him to leave by offering him a contract which was less than what he was earning when he was U19 coach
Giggs was offered a demotion so that he could leave, not even a 1st teach role but some obscure post that would have clashed with Warren Joyce's role. How could he be the bridge of U21s and 1st Team when he was not allowed anywher close to 1st Team

Up next will be the club ambassadors

Now the press reports that Giggs never wanted to take over after LvG but wanted to be considered when Jose leaves and that Jose actually wanted him to stay but Woodward blocked the meeting. Now what do we believe????

Probably the above speculation is has some legs

 

[prateik]

How do you block a fecking meeting? I'm sure they can get in touch without getting Woodward involved.
