360 Metro Sports gathered before the clash on Tuesday claimed that the Welshman was set to leave his post as United’s assistant manager to succeed Ronny Deila at Parkhead following the Scottish champions’ League Cup semi-final loss to Ross County at the weekend.
But it has emerged that Giggs missed United’s win due to a
family illness and not because of an imminent departure
from the club he has served as a player, coach, interim
manager and now assistant manager over a period of 29
years.
Deila is under pressure despite his side holding a six-point
lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership. It was believed
that only a domestic treble was likely to see the Norwegian
retained for next season, and Sunday’s 3-1 loss at Hampden
Park has thrown his position under significant scrutiny.
And Giggs’ own future is in doubt due to United’s troubles
under Louis van Gaal. The club’s indifferent form this
season has led to speculation about a change of manager
ahead of the proposed handover from Van Gaal to Giggs in
the summer of 2017. The 42-year-old is thought to be ready
to leave Old Trafford if he is overlooked for the top job when
it next becomes available.
