Man Utd No2 Giggs happy for Moyes over Real Sociedad move

Manchester United No2 Ryan Giggs is happy seeing David Moyes in charge at Real Sociedad.

Giggs worked as player-coach under Moyes last season at United.

He said: "It was always good. Obviously the results weren't there so as a player and as a staff and a football club, you're not happy with that.

"There was never a problem with me and David and I've said that on many occasions. It just didn't happen for him but he's a fantastic coach and I'm really pleased to see him back in football. Such a challenge going abroad and managing in a different country.

"It's always a surprise when you see coaches leave or finish at a club. For me, I didn't have time to think about anything else when I got asked to take over. It was just, instantly my mindset was to Norwich on the Saturday and how I'm going to prepare the team.

"There were a thousand things going on inside your head, but after a while you trust your instincts and trust the team you've picked and you've got good players playing for you so I was pretty relaxed."
