Former Manchester United assistant Mike Phelan believes Ryan Giggs is set for a bright future as a top-flight manager after he was confirmed as number two to new United boss Louis Van Gaal on Monday.

Giggs has brought an end to his playing career in order to focus fully on his new role in the dugout and Phelan believes it is only the start of great things for the Old Trafford hero.

Phelan told BBC Radio Five Live: "Ryan is Manchester United through and through, and today is a day of condolences as well because he has actually retired from playing at the ripe old age of 40.

"His career has been magnificent but he can now focus on the next phase of his career which is hopefully coaching and managing."

The goal that defined Giggs' career.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says it's still too early to rule Diego Costa out of the Champions League final despite the striker's chances of playing looking slim.

Atletico plays city rival Real Madrid in the final in Lisbon on Saturday. Simeone said "the week has just started, there are still some days until we have to decide. It's still early."
