The Welshman took the reigns on Wednesday as interim manager at Manchester United and claims leading the team out against Norwich will be the highlight of his glittering career
Manchester United interim manager Ryan Giggs insists Saturday’s game against Norwich will represent the proudest moment of his illustrious career.
The 40-year-old, who has enjoyed a glittering playing
career at Old Trafford that has spanned three decades, is set to take
charge of the team for the first time at the weekend following the sacking of David Moyes earlier this week.
Giggs will take control of first team affairs until the end of the season and revealed at his first press conference
that he has sought the advice of Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager under
whom he has played for the overwhelming majority of his career.
He said: "I have got to say it is the proudest moment of my life. I have supported Manchester United
all my life, I have been a part of the club since I was 13. I am proud,
I am happy, a little nervous and, just like playing, can't wait for the game on Saturday.
"When Ed [Woodward] asked me to look after the team for the remaining four games, I had no hesitation in saying yes.
"I can’t wait for five thirty tomorrow when we walk out at Old Trafford. I know the place will be rocking."
United sacked Moyes on Tuesday morning after a disappointing campaign
that has seen the Premier League champions drop to seventh in the
league table. The Red Devils cannot qualify for next year's Champions
League and will finish the year trophyless but Giggs believes he can
still rely on the players at his disposal.
He added: "I’ve told the players ‘I trust you and I know
what you’re capable of. Go out there and show it,'" before confirming
that he has a full-strength squad aside from Robin van Persie and Rafael
to choose from
