Giggs: The Legendary Welsh Winger
Ryan Giggs, a United Legend, also famously made his way into the team aged 17. Giggs had a remarkable career at the Old Trafford and was seen as one of the best players in the world during his time as an active player. The Welsh winger played his entire career for Manchester United, notching up 114 goals in 672 appearances. He also holds the record for the most assists in Premier League History with 271.
