Giggs on verge of U-turn for Wales return

Ryan Giggs could come out of international retirement and play for Wales now that his former Wales team-mate Gary Speed has been appointed manager. The 37-year-old retired from international football in 2007 but the veteran midfielder has indicated he may consider a Wales return if asked.

"At the moment I am just concentrating on playing for United," he told Sky Sports News.

"But I played with Gary - he was a great player and I am sure he will do a great job for Wales.

"In the future, if he ever needed any help or ever needed anything from me, that would be no problem.

"But at the moment I just wish him all the best and I just hope he can get Wales winning."

Giggs is one of the greatest footballers in Welsh history, making his debut in 1991 and going on to win 64 caps before standing down to prolong his club career.
