Ryan Joseph Giggs, OBE (n Wilson; born 29 November 1973)[3] is a Welsh football coach and

former player who is the co-owner of Salford City. He played his entire professional career for
Manchester United.

The son of rugby league player Danny Wilson, Giggs was born in Cardiff but moved
to Manchester at the age of six when his father joined Swinton RLFC. Predominantly a left winger,
he began his career with Manchester City, but joined Manchester United on his 14th birthday in
1987. He made his professional debut for the club in 1991 and spent the next 23 years in the
Manchester United first team. At the end of the 201314 season, he was named as Manchester
United's interim player-manager following the sacking of David Moyes. He was named as assistant
manager under Moyes' permanent replacement, Louis van Gaal, on 19 May 2014; he retired from
playing the same day. He holds the club record for competitive appearances. At international level,
Giggs played for the Wales national team 64 times between 1991 and 2007, and was named as the
captain of the Great Britain team that competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics. He is one of only 18
players to have made over 1,000 career appearances.[4][5][6][7]

Giggs is the most decorated player in football history.[8][9][10][11] During his time at United, he won
13 Premier League winner's medals, four FA Cup winner's medals, three League Cup winner's
medals, two UEFA Champions League winner's medals, a FIFA Club World Cup winners medal,
an Intercontinental Cup winner's medal, a UEFA Super Cup winner's medal and nine FA Community
