Giggs is keen on the post but has to convince the money men from the States that he has the experience needed.

Jenkins has also seen former United States national coach Bob Bradley on the recommendation of the American backers a few days ago.

Veteran Italian Francesco Guidolin will be replaced when the two groups decide who to go for to take charge, probably this week.

One time Manchester United hero Giggs would be a popular choice and has Jenkins’s support. But Bradley, currently working in France, also has appeal.

Other candidates are in the frame too in case a compromise is needed. Gianfranco Zola and Paul Clement are possibles.
