World Cup 2018: Wales fans slate Ryan Giggs for saying ‘we’ when discussing England during Belgium clash
Giggs has been Dragons boss for less than a year but the Manchester United legend got a pasting online for his apparent slip of the tongue while working as a pundit for ITV
WALES fans slated national boss Ryan Giggs for saying "we" when discussing England.
Manchester United legend Giggs, 44, was working as a pundit for ITV when giving his opinion during Gareth Southgate's side's clash against Belgium.
But he appeared to have a slip of the tongue as he referred to "we" when chatting about England at half-time.
Welshman Giggs, who picked up 64 caps for his country between 1991 and 2007, said: "In that No 10 position, Rashford's dropping in, but can we get Loftus-Cheek in that little No 10 position?"
Furious Dragons fans were quick to pick up on his error.
One said: "Ryan Giggs can pack his f***ing bags as Wales manager."

Another posted: "Ryan Giggs needs to stop calling England 'we'. If he loves them so much why don't he go join their coaching staff?"
A fellow user wrote: "Ryan Giggs saying 'we' about England has just undone six months of good work and put him back very much in doubt for me."
Another posted: "Ryan Giggs has just referred to England as 'we'. That has to be a sackable offence surely?!"
One fan said: "Why is Ryan Giggs saying 'we' when talking about England?"
A fellow user wrote: "Why does Ryan Giggs say 'we' when talking about England? You're the Wales manager now too, have some f***ing shame."
Another said: "How come Ryan Giggs has suddenly become an Englishman and what the f*** is he doing there as a pundit."
One posted: "Ryan Giggs hasn't got any socks on and keeps referring to England as 'us' even though he's the Wales manager."
Giggs was appointed Wales boss in January on a four-year deal after Chris Coleman left the role for an ill-fated spell in charge of Sunderland.
