Ryan Giggs will leave Manchester United this summer due to his strong desire to become a manager, Sky Sports News HQ has been told.

Jose Mourinho was last week reported to be prepared to offer Giggs a place on his coaching staff - although not as assistant manager, with Mourinho's loyal and trusted assistant Rui Faria set to take up that role.

Giggs is expected to leave Manchester United to pursue a managerial career

But Sky sources have indicated Giggs is set to end his 29-year association with the club as he does not want to accept a reduced role at Old Trafford, instead preferring to explore opportunities in management.

Good Luck To The Great Welsh Legend Ryan Giggs!!!!

Understandable from both sides, Mou has his own assistant and Giggs won't accept a small role at United, Good luck to Giggsy.

Hopefully he starts at a smaller club, instead of doing a Gary Neville and jumping in headfirst.
