Ryan Giggs: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Is 'Not the Nicest Bloke in the World'

Ryan Giggs has said Manchester United interim coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not the nice guy he is portrayed to be.

The Wales boss cited his time playing with Solskjaer at Old Trafford and stated people have the wrong idea about the Norwegian.

Solskjaer has appeared relaxed and composed since arriving in Manchester last December, but Giggs told the Daily Mail's Ian Ladyman the 46-year-old possesses a driven and competitive character.

Giggs recalled Solskjaer's comment to Rio Ferdinand soon after the defender signed from Leeds United in 2002.
