Dwight Yorke admits former Manchester United teammate Ryan Giggs is in a tough situation.
The Daily Express says he will be given the option of staying but if he leaves Jose Mourinho is ready to offer Gary Neville return to the club.
"I think it's a difficult one for Giggsy, having been at the club for three years [as an assistant]," Yorke told Sky Sports.
"If you look around at other players who have been given the opportunity to manage huge clubs - Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane, Diego Simeone - you'd have thought after three years...
"He has a wealth of experience but it was not to be.
"If I was in Giggsy's position, I'd put a clause in my contract to have the opportunity to be manager when Jose leaves the football club."
