Arsenal boss Wenger backing Man Utd legend Giggs for Olympics

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs should play for Great Britain in the London Olympics.

The Football Association this week kept the door open for England's players to have the opportunity to play in both tournaments.

Wenger said: "I think it's good if Great Britain does well at the Olympic Games but we have to find a common, sensible solution to the use of the players.

"I would be happy that Giggs plays. Not because he plays for Man United but because I think Giggs has never had the chance to play at international top level tournaments. So for him it would be something fantastic and he's still good enough to do it."
