Former Manchester United winger Lee Sharpe can see Ryan Giggs eventually succeeding Louis van Gaal.
Sharpe is convinced the 40-year-old, who also announced his decision to end his playing career, is being groomed for the top job.
"For me, it's an ideal scenario," Sharpe told the Manchester Evening News, speaking at charity event for The Christie. "The new manager comes in, does three, four maybe five years depending on how it goes. I think after that, Giggsy will be the man to take the job on.
"Giggsy has matured over the years, he speaks well, he knows the game inside out and he's played at the highest level.
"He understands players. He's not one to rant and rave. He'll talk to people and help them improve their game."
