Man Utd legend Sir Alex: I knew Giggs could do it

Sir Alex Ferguson says his former Manchester United star Ryan Giggs has done a fantastic job as manager of Wales.

Giggs helped Wales qualify for their second consecutive European Championships by beating Hungary this week.

Ferguson, speaking at a fundraiser for international football charity Grassroot Soccer in London, said: "Ryan was always going to be a top man.

"He is intelligent, he has great drive about him and is doing a great job with Wales - and giving young players a chance too. It is fantastic."
