In a game that ended 1-1, Giggs scored the equaliser at the end of the first half with a piercing finish into the top corner that materialised after a surging run and thunderous left-foot effort. Giggs is one of the most decorated footballers of all time and has transitioned into a manager. The Welshman enjoyed a glittering 20-year career for United as a player winning the Champions League twice in 1998-99 and 08-09.

Giggs represented Manchester United for over 20 years, claiming every title in club football and has prepared him most situations in the game. Wales have appointed a highly experienced football professional in Giggs and he will look to hit the ground running.
