Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood says new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal needs to have his No2 Ryan Giggs heavily involved.
Sherwood wrote in the Independent: "I will be interested to see how Van Gaal uses his new assistant Ryan Giggs. Ryan should not be there to put the cones out. He can't be that man. They will have to use him properly in the training session. He should not be a dog's body, not with everything he has achieved in his time at United. He knows the club better than anyone. He knows the Premier League and English football well.
"There is nothing worse than standing there on the side of the pitch, doing nothing. Why have people there if they are going to be redundant? Why have coaches who are just there because they are the manager's mates? They have to be contributing something.
"I wouldn't want to work anywhere I was just reduced to the role of an observer. As a manager of a Premier League club, Van Gaal will know that there is more than enough to be done. So he will have to get the right people doing the right things. He needs to use Ryan in a role where he is contributing."
