Giggs improving his chances to become Man Utd manager - Hughes

Wales manager Ryan Giggs has been backed to return and take charge of Manchester United one day by former team-mate Mark Hughes.

Giggs, who spent his entire playing career with the Red Devils, got his first taste of coaching at the club and even acted as a player-manager after the sacking of David Moyes in 2014.

The 46-year-old would then serve as Louis van Gaal's assistant before taking charge of his nation in 2018 and successfully qualifying them for Euro 2020.
