UNCOVERED: What Giggs has said about Man Utd target Matondo

Wales coach Ryan Giggs is happy counting on Schalke winger Rabbi Matondo.

Matondo is a transfer target for Manchester United, on reportedly advice from Giggs.

"I was slightly surprised when he went [to Schalke], but he is a talent," Giggs has said. "If he is half as successful as Sancho has been so far I'll be happy.

"He was really good with us in Albania [Wales's last game in November]. I thought he did really well when he came on.

"Just like Dan James he has electrifying pace. And that always keeps you interested.

"Obviously after that you have to develop. If a full-back works you out you have to have that Plan B. But both are talented players who could hurt teams."
