​Giggs on Man Utd departure: There was no offer from Mourinho

Manchester United great Ryan Giggs has opened up about his unceremonious exit from the club last summer.

Giggs stepped down from his position of assistant manager following the arrival of Jose Mourinho last summer.

"There was no offer from Jose Mourinho. No offer. It was my choice to go," Giggs told MEN Sport.

"As soon as Louis was going I had made my decision to go.

"I had done two years and I wanted to do three years under Louis. It didn't happen. That was my plan to do my three years and see what happened after that.

"Unfortunately, that was cut short. It happens. That's football. But I didn't really feel I could go on at the club in any other capacity apart from manager."
