Cleverley backs presence of Man Utd great Giggs

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley believes Ryan Giggs' presence at the club will be huge for the younger players.

The retired 40-year old Welshman has been kept on as permanent assistant to new boss Louis van Gaal and Cleverley believes it is a good move to have the club legend in a hands-on position for the upcoming season and beyond.

"We have known (Giggs) for a long time and he is brilliant for the players," the England midfielder said.

"As a young player growing up at the club he has been the best role model there is.

"You look at his career and all the titles he has won and hopefully he can pass his knowledge onto the players. It is good to have him around."
