What should Ryan Giggs do with his future at Man United?

Ryan Giggs, who was assistant manager to Louis Van Gaal is unsure of his future at Manchester united following the Duthman's saacking, with Jose Mourinho expected to be announced as the new manager in the next few days.

It is unsure what Mourinho's plans will be for Giggs when he takes over, with the Portuguese coach rumoured to favour bringing in his own team of changing room staff.

The Welshman's former teammate Peter Schmeichel believes that if Giggs ultimately wants to become the United manager, he should move elsewhere and gain experience before making a return.

"There are two sides; the club side and the Ryan side. I think Ryan's big dream is to one day manage United, " Schmeichel told Sky Sports News HQ.

"To be equipped to do that, he has to go away and be a manager at other clubs - standing on his own two feet, making decisions, producing results, getting his own ideas in - rather than step-up from being assistant.

"I think, for him, it would be a good idea to go somewhere else. On the other hand, Ryan is a culture bearer. He is someone who has been at the club for a very long time, and it's so important that we have that within the staff.

"He is someone who knows what the club is, knows the tradition and history - knows everything about it. Whatever he decides, it's down to him and, whatever he decides, I think that will be the right decision.

"But I would like to see him go away and come back some day prepared for the challenge because we've seen that, in the last three years at United, it's a hard job to be manager there. It's not something you can just step up and do."

Another club legend, Paul Scholes, believes ultimately Giggs himself needs to weigh up his options, but did say it would be a 'sad' day for the club if the Welshman left.

"If he left the club, I think it would be very sad," Scholes told Sky Sports News HQ. "He's been there 20-odd years and knows the place inside-out, how the club works and what kind of football is expected. It would be really disappointing if he did leave.

"It's all down to personal preference, it depends on Mourinho and what he wants Ryan to do - if he wants him to assist him like he did with Van Gaal - and what Ryan wants to do. If he wants to go away and manage then I'm sure he'll be very good at it.
