(NBC ProSoccerTalk) Louis van Gaal was only appointed manager of Manchester United this summer, but he is already naming Ryan Giggs to be his successor.

Giggs acted as manager for the final four matches of United’s season last year after David Moyes was sacked, and was kept on as an assistant to Van Gaal.

Earlier in the week, Van Gaal commented on how quickly Giggs was learning as a coach, and even said the former-Manchester United star reads the game similar to one Jose Mourinho.

Today the Dutchman come out and told MUTV that he believes Giggs will take over as the next manager at Manchester United.

I expect that he [Giggs] will be the next manager after I am gone. Now I have the responsibility. He has tasks that he has to perform like the players. What he has to do, for me, he does it very well.”

If anyone has the resume to lead Manchester United, it’s Ryan Giggs. The 41-year-old Welshman made over 900 appearances for United over his 24-year career at Old Trafford, the most in club history. He is the most decorated player in English history, winning 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League titles and four FA Cup trophies, among numerous other titles and awards.

Earlier in the season it looked like there may have been some animosity between Giggs and Van Gaal, but those rumors went away as the team turned around its’ play. Van Gaal has a proven track record of winning at some of the biggest clubs in the world, so no matter their relationship, Giggs could not find many better to develop under.

NBC Sports: Zlatan - "If Cantona Was King Of Manchester, I'll Be God Of Manchester"

Posted Image
Quote:
 
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the King God of one liners.

Ibrahimovic, 34, is already becoming a cult figure at Manchester United before he’s even kicked a ball for the Red Devils.

The Swedish striker has signed a one-year contract to play for Jose Mourinho’s side during the 2016-17 season and he is bringing his well documented self-confidence with him to Old Trafford.

Clearly.

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona was from the same mold as Zlatan, with the talismanic French striker speaking his mind and having plenty of controversial moments on and off the pitch.

Cantona’s arrival at United in a small money move from Leeds United was also the catalyst for an era of dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson as he was deemed the final piece of Fergie’s jigsaw with his swaggering panache and x-factor on the ball. Again, does he sound like someone else?

To this day Cantona’s name is still sung by United’s fans and he is referred to as “King Eric” by their supporters.

However, Cantona recently told the media that he was happy to see Zlatan arrive at United and he could become the Prince.

Quoted by Swedish paper Aftonbladet, Ibrahimovic had the following to say about those comments from the eccentric Frenchman.

“I admire Cantona and I heard what he said,” Ibrahimovic said. “But I won’t be King of Manchester. I will be God of Manchester.”

If Zlatan has half the impact that Cantona did, he will go down in folklore as another eccentric showman who delivered the goods when United needed it most.

Let’s see if Zlatan can knock Cantona off his perch at United. With 392 goals in 677 total club appearances, Zlatan has played for the world’s biggest clubs and prospered.

Now he has to drag United back to the elite of England and Europe.

If he does, he could be mentioned somewhere close to Cantona in United folklore but can anybody really overtake King Eric in the hearts of United’s fans?
...who knew Old Toilet needed a god?

Him and Mourinho make up 2 of the Top 3 Most Ego-Centric Person involved in football (Ronaldo being the other). It would be nice to see the ego explode and turn on each other when things aren't so rosy.
