Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has
revealed that he left the club upon the arrival
of Jose Mourinho because he was not given
an offer.
The 43-year-old worked under Louis Van Gaal
following his retirement from football, and
there were hopes that he will remain in the
dugout when Jose Mourinho took over last
season but the Welshman left the Old Trafford
to spend sometime on the sidelines.
Speaking about his exit from United, Giggs
told Manchester Evening News: "There was
no offer from Jose Mourinho. No offer. It was
my choice to go "As soon as Louis was g oing I had made my decision to go.
"I had done two years and I wanted to do three years under Louis. It didn't happen. Thatwas my plan to do my three years and see what happened after that.
"Unfortunately, that was cut short. It happens.
That's football. But I didn't really feel I could
go on at the club in any other capacity apart
from manager."
Mourinho opted to work with his trusted
assistant Rui Faria, who had followed him
from Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Giggs has also been tipped to takeover at
Swansea and Southampton in the last 12
months.
