Manchester United to be without Luke Shaw for a couple of months due to muscular injury
Manchester United is facing a significant setback as defender Luke Shaw is sidelined due to a muscle injury.
However, with the Crown Prosecution Service deciding not to proceed with a retrial, Giggs is slowly stepping back into the public eye, expressing a yearning to return to what he loves.
Speaking at an event in Chester, as reported by Daily Star, Giggs opened up about his absence and future aspirations, stating, "I loved managing Wales, obviously. I do miss it so hopefully [I can manage again]."
This statement comes at a crucial time, with the Welsh national team facing a decisive moment. Their journey to the Euros hangs in the balance, needing to surpass Finland and potentially Poland or Estonia in the play-offs. Giggs' return could be a card yet to be played, depending on how the current management fares in the coming months.

Steering Clear of Salford City Speculations
While Giggs remains a figure of speculation regarding various managerial positions, he has made it clear that a role at Salford City, a club he co-owns with other illustrious 'Class of 92' members, is off the table.
The recent appointment of Karl Robinson as Salford's manager puts to rest any rumours of Giggs taking a direct managerial role at the club.
Instead, Giggs has found a different avenue of involvement with Salford City, enjoying his increased engagement over the past six months. This shift in focus showcases his multifaceted contribution to football, beyond the touchlines.
Giggs also reflected on his brief managerial stint at Manchester United, a challenging yet formative experience that solidified his ambition to pursue management.
The loss to Sunderland, in particular, was a turning point for Giggs, teaching him the harsh realities and tough decisions required of a manager.
