| Rio Ferdinand thinks Ryan Giggs is the man to replace Louis van Gaal as Manchester United manager |
RIO FERDINAND has backed Ryan Giggs to succeed Louis van Gaal as manager of Manchester United.
The former United defender claims he couldn't see it during their playing days but reckons his old-teammate has now developed into a top coach.
Giggs currently works as Van Gaal's No.2 and has already had a stint as the main man after David Moyes was sacked in 2014.
And with reports suggesting the Dutchman will not extend his Old Trafford contract beyond the end of next season, Ferdinand believes they already have the perfect replacement.
"At the beginning you didn't see it but it was something that Giggsy grew into," he told The Sun.
"You can see that he loves the game and is a student of the game by taking all of his coaching badges.

"He grew into where he is now. Towards the end of my time there you could see it more. So it's a natural progression.
"Ryan was in and around the coaching staff, especially when David Moyes was there.
"And once you are doing your badges, you see the game a different way."
