Meulensteen backing Man Utd legend Giggs for Middlesbrough job

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs is keen on the job at Middlesbrough.

Giggs would be “very keen" to become Middlesbrough's new manager, says ex-United assistant manager Rene Meulensteen.

Speaking to BBC Five Live, he said: “I'm sure he would be very keen because he's ready and he wants to be a manager.

“People always talk about experience, experience, experience but look around, there are many managers who have plenty of experience and don't pull it off.

“That's why I'm so chuffed for Paul (Clement) at Swansea. Next year he can build his own team and go from there.

“With Ryan, with his vast experience and all that, I think he could do a fantastic job (at Boro). It sounds like a good fit."
