Ryan Giggs will be the next manager of Manchester United, according to Louis van Gaal.

The Welshman is currently assistant to Van Gaal, having taken temporary charge of the Reds after David Moyes was sacked last April.

The Reds coach has spoken on a number of occasions this year about how Giggs has helped him, and he believes that the United great will succeed him in the hotseat.

"I expect that he (Giggs) will be the next manager after I am gone," Van Gaal told MUTV.

"Now I have the responsibility. He has tasks that he has to perform like the players. What he has to do, for me, he does it very well."
