Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes should be given chance to boss Manchester United, insists Zinedine Zidane



Zinedine Zidane insists Ryan Giggs should be given a chance as Manchester United manager because he knows the club better than any other candidate.



The Real Madrid legend, who is now assistant coach and sporting director at the Bernabeu, is convinced Giggs would do as good a job as anyone, regardless of managerial experience.

Giggs, who has taken over as caretaker boss after David Moyes' sacking on Tuesday, will be leading United in the dug out for the first time at home to Norwich on Sunday.

'The fantastic thing about Ryan Giggs is he already knows that, he will know Manchester United better than anybody,' said Zidane.

'I think that him and Paul Scholes could do a very good job if they were given the chance.

'You will always get arguments that they are young or that they are not experienced.

'But between them they have been at Manchester United for 30 years. And you can not be better equipped than that.'

The likes of Louis van Gaal and Carlo Ancelotti have been touted as possible replacements for Moyes.

But the Frenchman, who is thought to have a career in management himself in front of him at Real Madrid, says if the ability is there, experience should not matter.

'There is often a lot of questions about experience - but not always enough questions on ability.

'When you think of Ryan Giggs you think of a man who has played under Alex Ferguson his entire career. It is impossible that he has not learned many things off of him.

'When you think of clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United - one of the biggest challenges of a new coach is understanding the culture of one of the biggest clubs in the world.

'How to handle big expectations from the fans, what quality of football is expected, how to represent one of the biggest clubs in Europe.'
