David Beckham backs Ryan Giggs to become fantastic Manchester United manager

David Beckham believes it is only a matter of time before Ryan Giggs takes the top job at Man Utd

DAVID BECKHAM is convinced Ryan Giggs will become a successful Manchester United manager one day.

 

Giggs, 41, is currently Louis van Gaal's number two at United, and he briefley managed the club when David Moyes was sacked last year.

Beckham will play at Old Trafford once more next month when he takes part in a charity match which aims to raise funds for UNICEF.

 

The former England captain played alongside Giggs for 11 years in the United first team after they both came through the club's famed youth academy and Beckham believes it is only a matter of time before the former winger takes the top job at United.

"I have always said that Giggsy has this streak running through him that you see in top managers," Beckham said.

"I saw it as a player. He is so determined and when you have got someone like that at a club like this, someone who is from this part of the world and knows so much about this club - it's so embedded into him - it means so much to fans, so I hope that at some point Giggsy does take over.

"It might not be for the next five or 10 years but at some point it would be amazing for the fans to have him.

"To have Giggsy sat on the line preparing himself to become a manager is exciting."
