Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs could be set to return to football.
Back in June 2022, the former United man stepped down as the manager of Wales.
Giggs is also the part-owner of League Two side Salford City alongside ex-United teammates Gary Neville, Phil Neville, David Beckham, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes.
Earlier in the year, Giggs was named as Salford’s director of football.

Although he has been up in the stands since taking on his new role, it was spotted that Giggs was on the pitch for Salford’s matches against Fleetwood and Shrewsbury.
As reported by The Sun, Giggs could set to be involved in the coaching staff alongside manager Karl Robinson.
On Saturday, Salford sealed a place in the next round of the FA Cup after beating Shrewsbury 2-1.
Speaking after the match, manager Robinson said: “I thought as a whole we played really well, we dominated the possession of the football. We asked really good questions of the opposition, against a team that are from the league above and I think we showed a level of competency with the possession of the football.
“Now a 15-year-old [Marshall Heys] is the youngest footballer ever in the FA Cup for a professional side is just incredible. I think if you watch what he did especially when he came on he had three duels and won three of them. His bravery is just incredible, but he’s done the easy bit, which is getting here. The hardest bit is to now in the next few years to find that balance to drop back down and still be the best player at the club.”
He added: “We’ve got a real hard week now, we’ve got to knuckle down and we’ve got to work hard. I need more and more every single time they where this shirt. Today I’m really happy and it is a day I will remember for a long time for different reasons, one that I really enjoyed.”
Salford will be back in action next weekend when they take on Carlisle on Saturday afternoon.
