5 things you (probably) didn’t know about Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs

He was not allowed to speak to journalists until 20 years of age

Under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, the former Manchester United boss made sure that Giggs couldn’t get himself into trouble with the media at an early age.

He did this by banning the Welshman from speaking to them until he was 20-years-old. His first interview came with Des Lynam on the BBC in 1994.

Fortunately, the newspapers had enough content on the young winger given his consistently brilliant displays for United.
