“?Manchester United Legend Peter Schmeichel has suggested that Ryan Giggs leave Old Trafford if he wants to be a successful manager there in the future.
With United confirming the sacking of Louis van Gaal on Monday, the appointment of former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho should be announced any time from now.
Schmeichel, a former goalkeeper at the club, spent eight years playing with Giggs. They can both look back at remarkable careers, but the Welshman is in line to manage at United one day.
While Schmeichel says he believes that the Portuguese will need someone like Giggs working with him, he also seems to think that his former team-mate’s managerial career will stagnate if he stays on.
“I think that’s a difficult one because you have two considerations here,”? he said to BBC 5 Live.
“You have Ryan’s consideration and the future of his career and you have Man United’s consideration.
“I think it’s very, very important that Mourinho has a Man United assistant. Someone who knows the club and knows what’s expected who’s been at the club and knows the culture. I think that’s important.”?
I live and pray for the poetic justice of Jose Mourinho hiring Ryan Giggs’ brother as Man Utd assistant manager.
“It could be Giggs but on the other hand people would like to see Ryan become the manager one day and I think for him to become the manager, it would be so good for him to go somewhere else, get a job where he has to stand on his own two feet, make decisions, learn the trade and then come back.
“If he’s successful in management, he could come back and manage Man United one day.”?
