Ryan Giggs: 'No rift with Louis van Gaal'

Ryan Giggs denies Louis van Gaal rift

Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs has dismissed reports of a rift with Louis van Gaal.

Reports emerged of a rift between the pair when Giggs did not celebrate Ashley Young's late winner against Newcastle United on Wednesday.

"It's coming to that part of the season where the media will look at any little thing to make it more exciting and more interesting," Giggs told BBC Sport.

"Me and Louis have a great working relationship. He's given me a massive opportunity and I'm taking it. I'm working as hard as I can and I'm enjoying every minute of it."

Giggs scored 114 goals during a 24-year playing career at Old Trafford. He was appointed as player-coach in 2013, and named as assistant manager last summer.
