Manchester United has officially announced that Ryan Giggs has ended his 29 year association with the club. The Red Devils have found an agreement with the Welshman to terminate his current contract at Old Trafford.
 

The 42-year-old stated that; “This club has been my life since I was 14-years-old and this has made this a hard decision for me. I’ve gained so much experience and special memories that I hope will serve me well in the future. I’ve been fortunate enough to have fantastic mentors in Sir Alex Ferguson and Louis van Gaal, the knowledge that I have learned from them is immeasurable. I would like to congratulate Jose Mourinho on his appointment at the biggest club in the world. There are few managers who are proven winners and he is one of these. I also thank the fans for all their support down the years but now’s the time for a new challenge. I am excited thinking about my future".
