Ryan Giggs: Sir Alex Ferguson had everything

Giggs, who is currently the manager of the Welsh national team, thinks the differences between the two managers was down to their divergent experiences.

While Ferguson had an instinctive understanding with his squads at United, built over lengthy periods of time, van Gaal loved to work on different tactical approaches and ideas, picked up from his many years traversing the continent and working in Holland, Spain and Germany.

“It was about getting an understanding of the different ways to play,”

noted Giggs.
