Ryan Giggs has revealed that he left Manchester United when Jose Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal as manager, because he was not given an offer to stay on.
The former Wales international, also revealed that Van Gaal’s sacking ruined his three-year plan at United, where he had spent his entire career.
Almost one year ago, Giggs’ 29-year association with the Reds as player, interim boss and assistant manager officially came to an end.
It was suggested that Mourinho wanted him to stay on, but Giggs has denied he was asked to.
“There was no offer from Jose Mourinho. No offer. It was my choice to go,” Giggs told MEN Sport.
“As soon as Louis was going 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. That was 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.”
