Ryan Giggs is not under consideration to become Manchester United's
next full-time boss as the club begin their search for a successor to
David Moyes.
But the Premier League club feel an experienced manager is needed to turn things round after this season's slump.
News that Giggs is unlikely to succeed Moyes on a full-time basis may disappoint some fans.
However, Robbie Savage, who was in the United youth ranks with Giggs and was also a team-mate with Wales, says United need an experienced head as they look to rebuild their squad over the summer.
"In the future, Ryan can be a successful manager," Savage told BBC Sport. "But going forward it's such a huge transfer window for United that they need an experienced man at the helm.
"Keeping Ryan as assistant manager would be a great idea. He has United in his blood and has won countless trophies.
It leaves Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal in a strong position, given Carlo Ancelotti is under contract at Real Madrid and both Diego Simeone and former United defender Laurent Blanc, presently at Atletico Madrid and Paris St-Germain respectively, have never coached in England.
Van Gaal's managerial curriculum vitae is impressive.
The 62-year-old won three Dutch titles with Ajax between 1991-97, as well as the 1995 Champions League. He then secured two La Liga crowns at Barcelona and enjoyed Bundesliga success at Bayern Munich in 2010.
Savage believes he would be the perfect fit for United and has a great relationship with striker Robin van Persie.
