“It’s a great privilege to be appointed a player-coach,” said Giggs, who will work alongside new United manager David Moyes. “I hope I will be able to bring my experience to bear, having been both a player and part of the United family for so long. It’s no secret that I have been taking my qualifications and I see this as the first step in my future career. I’m really looking forward to working alongside David and the team.”
United also announced that former player Phil Neville, who played under Moyes at Everton, will join the back-room staff as first-team coach at Old Trafford.
