Ryan Giggs: 'I'm still adapting to coaching role at Manchester United'

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs declares that he will continue to 'work hard' in order to become the best coach possible at Old Trafford.

Ryan Giggs has admitted that adapting to a new mindset has been the toughest challenge since hanging up his boots and becoming a coach at Manchester United.

The Red Devils legend helped guide his side back into Champions League contention in his first season as second in command to boss Louis van Gaal.

Far from being content with what he achieved in his maiden campaign, Giggs is now hoping to push on in the coming years in order to become the best coach he possibly can.

"The biggest thing you learn going from player to coach is not to think like a player anymore, but to think like a coach," the Welshman told the club's official website.

"As a player you're pretty selfish – you want to do well and you know what you're capable of doing and how to achieve it. I wanted to be the best as a player and I want to be the best as a coach. That means working hard and doing everything you can to achieve that, but also enjoying the challenge."

Giggs, who retired from playing in 2014, has spent 25 years at Old Trafford.
