Ryan Giggs to MK Dons: Manchester United legend lined up to fill managerial post
Former Man United assistant Ryan Giggs could replace axed Karl Robinson at League One strugglers MK Dons
MK DONS are keen to speak to Ryan Giggs about their vacant managerial post.
The League One strugglers – who languish 20th in the table – are looking for a replacement for Karl Robinson, who was axed after more than six years at the helm.
And the Mail claim the club will check on the availability of the Manchester United legend, 42, before speaking to other potential candidates.
It is reported that chairman Pete Winkelman is keen to bring in a big name to help lift spirits after a disastrous season.
As one of the most decorated players of his generation, Giggs undoubtedly fits the bill despite having no first-team managerial experience.
Winkelman previously gave the Welshman’s former team-mate Paul Ince just his second job in senior management and provided the platform for Champions League-winning boss Roberto Di Matteo to start his career.
And Giggs appears keen to follow in their footsteps by landing his first job as a No 1 following three years as assistant at United under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.
He had an unsuccessful interview for the Swansea job and lost out to American Bob Bradley after failing to impress the Swans’ hierarchy.
Wigan is another possible destination after they sacked Gary Caldwell.
But Giggs could face some competition for the job in Milton Keynes, with the Dons also set to Paul Mitchell, who enjoyed successful spells at Southampton and Tottenham as head of recruitment.
