Mourinho too wary of Giggs to have him as no2

José Mourinho has vetoed Ryan Giggs staying at Manchester United as his assistant because of fears that the Welshman could become a potential managerial rival.

It is understood that Mourinho believes that Giggs distanced himself from Louis van Gaal and David Moyes at crucial times during their ill-fated spells in charge at Old Trafford, while the Portuguese is also wary of his close relationship with Paul Scholes, who was highly critical of United’s past two managers.

Good £#%&!ing riddance to the chin stroking @#%&!.

Didn't matter for van gaal at his age. He wanted a few years in England and to top up his pension.
