Former Manchester United assistant manager Steve Round says Ryan Giggs deserves to take over at Old Trafford when Louis van Gaal leaves the club.
Round worked alongside the former United winger as part of David Moyes' coaching staff before the Scotsman left the club less than a year after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Giggs stayed on and was promoted to assistant under Van Gaal and is said to be in the running to assume the manager's position in the future.
"Ryan was an absolutely magnificent player; he is certainly one of the best players I've ever worked with in the short period of time I was there. He was phenomenal, even at 39 years of age.
"Then he has stepped into coaching, with us he was part-coach, part-player. Now he has stepped into being an assistant manager - the natural progression for him is to go on to be a manager.
"You would assume that would be at Manchester United; that's what they are grooming him for and getting him ready to take over eventually when that time comes. I think that is only right and proper - he needs and deserves to have that opportunity.
