    David Beckham thinks his former Manchester United team-mate Ryan Giggs can become the Red Devils manager in the future.

    Giggs is now Louis van Gaal's assistant boss.

    "I have always said that Giggsy has this streak running through him that you see in top managers," Beckham said. 

    "I saw him as a player, he is so determined and when you have someone who is from this part of the world and from this club, that means so much to the fans.  

    "I hope at some point that Giggsy does take over. It might not be for five years or 10, but I hope he does."

    Bath head coach Mike Ford also said he would probably turn down the England job if offered it.

    "I've got the best job in the world at Bath - a fantastic owner who is unbelievably ambitious, who backs me and the coaches," he said.

    "I can't walk away from here because I've made commitments to players to stay with me for the next four years, and we'll keep carry on doing what we are doing and getting better every day.

    "I can't walk away, I've not won anything yet. I want to leave a legacy at Bath and this is the best place for me.

    "In four years' time, 2019, who knows. But at this moment in time this is an unbelievable place to work."

    Bath head coach Mike Ford has been talking to BBC Radio 5 live about the fallout of England's World Cup failure and said some interesting things.

    Ford, former England and Ireland assistant coach, said Sam Burgess is committed to rugby union and would play as flanker on his return to Bath - a position Burgess wants to play for England in the Six Nations.

    "I always knew Stuart Lancaster would use him as a centre. Stuart was lacking a leader in the backs and he wanted Sam to be that person," said Ford.

    "But Sam knows he's a six and I know he's a six in the way we play at Bath. The next time he gets in the England squad it would be as a six. He's very, very happy with where he is at Bath, there are no dramas there."

    And here are some more good quotes, this time from Republic of Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane after the news that Robbie Keane's wife Claudine has given birth to the couple's second son in Los Angeles.

    Robbie missed training in Dublin on Tuesday but Roy poured very cold water on speculation that the birth may mean the striker could miss Thursday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Germany.

    "Why wouldn’t he be [here]? He didn’t have the baby, did he?” said the former Manchester United captain. 

    "Unless he’s breastfeeding. Robbie’s had a game and has been travelling."

    We told you a bit earlier that Bolton boss Neil Lennon has been charged by the Football Association for misconduct.

    Here are the quotes that angered the FA. 

    After Saturday's 4-3 defeat at QPR, he called referee Darren Drysdale an "absolute disgrace".

    "I've never seen a more biased performance from a referee in a long time. He gave QPR everything he possibly could, I was so frustrated with that."

    Chung, 63, said he was told he violated six articles from world football governing body's code of ethics.

    He said it stemmed from his "support" for his country's 2022 World Cup bid and his proposal for a Global Football Fund. Chung denies all claims.

    Bound by confidentiality, Fifa has not made a statement on Chung's case.
