United greats have come together to hail Ryan Giggs as he hangs up his boots. Sir Alex Ferguson: What a fantastic career - the number of games you have played, the trophies you have won, the help you have given young people and the help you have given me and all the coaching staff. David Beckham: Amazing servant to the game of course, but more importantly, an amazing servant to Manchester United. We are all proud of you - Manchester United fans love you. Gary Neville: Well done for everything you have achieved at the club. It is wonderful what you have done and I dont think your achievements will ever be surpassed. Mike Phelan: Ryan is Manchester United through and through, and today is a day of condolences as well because he has actually retired from playing at the ripe old age of 40. His career has been magnificent but he can now focus on the next phase of his career which is hopefully coaching and managing. He definitely has experience on his side and he has the name and the clout behind him because of who he is and what he has achieved. I think management is the natural progression for Ryan, and I think it will happen in the next two or three years. FIFA president Sepp Blatter: Ryan Giggs has retired. Remarkable career by a loyal, legendary Man United entertainer. 963 games. 34 trophies. 1 club
