Former Manchester United footballer David Beckham has backed Ryan Giggs to succeed Louis van Gaal as the next manager of the Old Trafford club.
Describing Giggs as a 'manager material', Beckham said that his old teammate has got the ability to be a top manager, Sport24 reported.
Beckham said that Giggs had learnt from Sir Alex Ferguson over the years and is currently learning from the Dutchman, insisting that United fans would undoubtedly love to see him as their manager at some point in future.
Giggs, who brought his 23-year playing career to an end in 2014, has been widely tipped to replace Van Gaal when the Dutchman steps down from his position in 2017.
