Giggs calls in SAS to shape up United's millionaire squad after becoming interim boss

Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs has reportedly called in the Special Air Services (SAS) of the British Army to knock the club's under-performing millionaire players into shape after being appointed as the club's interim boss.

Giggs, who will be in charge of United till the end of the season, has reportedly been taking advice from former Special Forces hero Floyd Woodrow MBE on how to improve their game.

According to the Daily Star, United's sources have revealed that Giggs had been 'deeply impressed' after hearing a motivational speech from Woodrow, who is now a leading sports psychologist.

Media reports claim that Woodrow confirmed that he had talked to Giggs about team building and leadership but declined to comment further.

The United legend has been forced to draw on his 'life experiences' to boost mental strength among the players in order to turn the club around and his message to his fellow teammates is that they should not 'settle for mediocrity', but 'push the boundaries and achieve'.

Giggs, who has played for United since he was 17, had been introduced to Woodrow, one of the youngest ever SAS recruits and who now specializes in team building, while the winger was studying for his coaching badge at the FA's St George's Park headquarters, the report added.
