Manchester United haven’t won the Premier League since Giggs’ penultimate season at the club in 2013.

They have since seen David Moyes and Louis van Gaal try and fail to deliver on the trophy front, although the latter did win the FA Cup in his second season.

Giggs, who won 13 league titles during his playing days under Sir Alex Ferguson, spent two years as Van Gaal’s assistant.

And he has shockingly slammed the club over their transfer policy during his time working behind the scenes at United, claiming they missed the chance to sign both Jesus and Mbappe.

“I watched Gabriel Jesus play three years ago. I watched Mbappé for a year. I was watching them with the scout and it was a no-brainer,” Giggs told The Times. 

“It was just like, ‘Get them.’ It would have been £5 million or something — get them, loan them back — and that’s where the recruitment could have been better.”

And Giggs went on to reveal he often got into arguments with Van Gaal about letting players leave Old Trafford.

“There have been a lot who have come through that haven’t been United players and also players who were United players and shouldn’t have left. I’m talking about Rafael [Da Silva], [Danny] Welbeck, Jonny Evans — players who are United through and through.

“It was hard because Louis had his own ideas and you had to respect that, but, yes, we had a few arguments about a couple of them. 

“He understood [my position] because I had played with those lads, but they just weren’t for him.

“Some of them, like Welbeck, wanted to play more regularly, and Jonny had a few injuries at the time, so you could understand it, but — and it’s not saying it in hindsight — recruitment hasn’t been great either.”
