As soon as David Moyes was sacked, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes were put in charge of Man United, with Giggs retaining the title of interim manager. However, some observers noted that this interim duo has everything a Manchester United manager should have, and they should be given a chance before Van Gaal and the many other illustrious names in line.
French legend Zinedine Zidane commented on the possibility of seeing Giggsy, rather than Van Gaal, as the Red Devils’ future permanent manager. Zizou stated that often times too much emphasis is placed on young managers’ lack of experience rather than their abilities.

The French legend said:
“When you think of Ryan Giggs, you think of a man who has played under Alex Ferguson his entire career. It is impossible that he has not learned many things off of him.”
Zidane puts great focus on the fact that both Giggs and Scholes have dedicated their entire careers, albeit lives, to the Manchester franchise and few people know the club better than them.

Regardless of what Man United’s future reserves, it is unlikely that someone like Giggs will leave the Theatre of Dreams anytime soon. His name is printed in the Red Devils’ history books.
