Giggs: Proud moment being Man Utd manager

Manchester United No2 Ryan Giggs enjoyed his time in charge towards the end of last season.

Giggs admits it was a "proud" moment leading the team for the first time in victory over Norwich City.

"That was the proudest moment - walking out on to the pitch and the fans and the crowd giving me a great reception.

"Growing up as a child supporting United, and then obviously being lucky enough to play for so many years - I never actually thought I would be in charge of the team.

He added: "It was a challenge, it was totally out of my comfort zone, but one that I enjoyed. I put myself under a lot of pressure because I wanted to win four games out of four.

"Unfortunately we didn't but I loved every minute of it and the players reacted really well and the fans reacted really well. In that respect it couldn't have gone any better.

"It was a great experience and one that I couldn't have foreseen happening so soon."
