Man Utd great Giggs chooses between rival bidders Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe

Manchester United great Ryan Giggs favours Sheikh Jassim buying the club.

The Qatari is battling Sir Jim Ratcliffe to buy the club from the Glazer family.

"I think like anyone, all the other fans, we just want it resolved," Giggs told Manchester United fan channel Webby & O'Neill.

"If there is a takeover, let's get it done. I know there's billions of pounds [involved] but let's just get it done. If things weren't too bad on the pitch, if we are winning games and trophies, then you could probably get away with it.

"But we're not winning games, we're not winning trophies, and it's just an added pressure for the players and the manager with lots of outside noise.

"The manager has enough to cope with on the pitch - he doesn't need the added pressure at press conferences and being asked about takeover bids."

On his favoured bidder, Giggs added: "It is the one that is going to make a difference and put in significant investment.

"I don't know who that would be but it looks like Sheikh Jassim is going to put the most money in and own it 100 per cent."
