Giggs backs Ole to remain at United

JOHANNESBURG - Former Manchester United star Ryan Giggs on Monday backed caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to permanently take the reins at Old Trafford, but called its upcoming Champions League match against PSG a "big ask".

"I can't see anyone past Ole at the moment. The record they've had in the league has been phenomenal," Giggs said of his ex-teammate at a Champions League trophy tour event in Johannesburg, South Africa.

"It's a tough league and to put together the run that he's done, it's impressive. The Liverpool game, OK it wasn't one of the best performances but they dug out a result."
