Man Utd legend Van der Sar: Giggs will improve working with Van Gaal

Manchester United legend Edwin van der Sar has no doubts Ryan Giggs will benefit working with new manager Louis van Gaal.

The 43-year-old former goalkeeper, who made 266 appearances for the club in a six-year spell, told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek that Giggs can only improve working under the veteran Dutch manager.

"I'm sure under the guidance of Louis he [Giggs] can become an even better coach or manager in the future," Van der Sar said.

"Even when I played with him he was busy with his coaching badges and the philosophy of the club is in the right hands with him.

'Ryan is going to be there as assistant manager and that should be enough, with his experience, to bring United in a better frame than this year."
