Manchester United interim manager Ryan Giggs admits Louis van
Gaal has the right credentials to take charge at any of the world's
top clubs.
Van Gaal is widely expected to be appointed as United's new
permanent boss before the end of the season despite strong
support for Giggs from the team's fans and players.
While Giggs is a United legend with vast experience of what it
takes to succeed at Old Trafford, the Welsh midfielder knows he
can't match the wealth of managerial knowledge amassed by
Netherlands coach van Gaal in his long career.
Giggs, who is yet to complete his UEFA Pro Licence exams,
oversaw a 4-0 win against Norwich in his first match in charge of
United last weekend following the dismissal of David Moyes.
The 40-year-old would clearly love the chance to manage United,
but he seemed to acknowledge that won't happen immediately as
he saluted van Gaal's achievements, which include winning the
Champions League with Ajax and lifting domestic league titles at
Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's match against Sunderland, Giggs
had nothing but warm words for van Gaal when asked about his
potential successor.
"He has a brilliant reputation," Giggs said. "He is a successful
manager in different countries. Obviously he has taken Holland
to the World Cup. He has a fantastic pedigree."
What role Giggs plays under van Gaal remains to be seen.
Giggs could coach under van Gaal, he could play for the
Dutchman or he may depart for pastures new after 24 years at
Old Trafford.
The midfielder says he will not decide his future until the end of
the season.
"My concentration is on the remaining three games and then I
will see what happens at the end of the season," Giggs said.
"I have got to decide if I want to play or not, so there is no point
thinking if I want to be an assistant or if I want to be a manager
somewhere else.
"There are so many things to think about, but that's in the future.
"I honestly don't know (what I will do).
That's what GIGS said
