"If Ryan Giggs had retired six or seven years ago - say he'd retired at 35, quite likely I'd have made him my assistant, and quite likely he could have moved right into the job, with the experience of being assistant manager to me, as he is helping Louis van Gaal at the moment. But I would never ask a player to quit."It seems the Scot has never told the former Wales international this. Interviewed for the documentary, Giggs was informed of Fergie's scheme and responded: "He said that?" Instead of retiring in his late thirties and inheriting the keys to the Kingdom, Giggs played on until the age of 40 and took over as caretaker boss after the firing of Moyes. It's alright though, now he gets to assist Louis Van Gaal, a man with whom he appears to get on really, really well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoK-piy0Cyo Yeah, cheers Fergie.
