Ryan Giggs, who will turn to 40 in this November, and ex-United
player Neville are 36, are the latest additions to new manager David Moyes's
backroom team at Old Trafford.
"I'm delighted that Ryan has accepted the chance to become
player-coach," said Moyes.
Giggs he said : "It's no secret I've been taking my
qualification. I see this as the first step in my future career."
Neville, 36, takes up the role vacated by Rene Meulensteen, who
has now joined manager Guus Hiddink at Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.
Giggs continued: "It's a great privilege to be appointed as
player-coach. I hope I will be able to bring my experience to bear, having been
both a player and part of the Manchester United family for so long.
"I'm really looking forward to working alongside David and
the team."
Moyes, who was announced
as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor in May, will conduct his
first news conference as manager of United on Friday at 16:00 BST.
Manchester United Midfielder Ryan Giggs has already signed a new one-year
contract with his formal club in March and the contract will run
until June 2014 , when he finally completes his 23rd with Manchester
united.
The former Wales skipper, who is the captain for Great Britain at
last summer's London Olympics, made his United debut on 2 March 1991 and he has
already won 13 league titles, four FA Cups, four League Cups and two Champions
League titles.
"His success and ability to adapt his game over a number of
years gives him an unrivalled perspective on the modern game," Moyes said
of Giggs.
"His career is an example to any aspiring young player and
I'm sure that both he and the players will benefit from his new role."
He joins the new coaching set-up which is largely comprised of
people who worked under Moyes at Everton - with assistant manager Steve Round,
coach Jimmy Lumsden and goalkeeping coach Chris Woodsadded to the Old
Trafford staff earlier in the week.
Neville came through the ranks at United, played under Moyes at
Goodison Park and left the club at the same time as the Scot.
He told BBC
Sport in June that he was consider a new career for
coaching and recently worked with the England Under-21 team in Israel.
A full-back or midfielder, who earned 59 England caps during his
football career, Neville made his Premier League debut for United in 1995 in a
3-0 to win over Manchester City.
He won six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and one Champions
League crown at Old Trafford before joining Everton for only £3.5m in year 2005.
"When David Moyes give me this opportunity, I couldn't
confirm. I gave my all when I played for Everton but it is no secret that this
club is in my heart," said Neville.
