Ryan Giggs's dad calls Man Utd legend a womaniser after an affair with his brother's wife
Ryan Giggs' father has called his own son a womaniser and "rat" after claiming he had an affair with his brother's wife.
The Class of 92, including Giggs, celebrates the 10th anniversary of their notable takeover on March 27.
Giggs new position
Nicky Butt, who took over as Salford's chief executive in October, has confirmed Giggs's new role. Speaking of Giggs's return to football, a source close to him stated, as reported by Daily Mail, that he has "unfinished business in the game" after stepping down as Wales manager in 2022.
"It is the 50-year-old's first job back in football since standing down as Wales manager in June 2022 in the run-up to the World Cup in Qatar due to a then-upcoming trial," the source revealed.

Giggs was recently cleared of domestic violence allegations made by his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville, which had been a significant legal battle for him.
He was also accused in 2011 of having a secret relationship with brother Rhodri's wife Natasha for eight years.
"Giggs was 'deeply relieved' after being sensationally cleared of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Greville," said Chris Daw KC, defending Giggs.

"He has always been innocent of these charges - there's been very, very many lies told about him in court."
The decision not to proceed with the case came after Ms Greville declined to testify, citing the toll the process had taken on her mental and physical well-being.
Despite the legal battles, Giggs remains committed to his role at Salford, where he joins other football legends like Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, and David Beckham as co-owners.
"Salford currently sit 20th in League Two," said City chief executive Nicky Butt, "but we are backing them with as much commitment and confidence as ever."
