The former Wales international has
been handed the accolade as recognition for his service to football, 25 years
after making his Red Devils debut
Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs has been honoured with this
season's PFA Merit award.
The former Red Devils winger made his Old Trafford bow 25 years ago, winning
both the Young Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year during his
decorated career, and is currently Louis van Gaal's number two.
Giggs follows in the footsteps of United legends Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Matt Busby and Sir Bobby Charlton in winning the Merit award, and he thanked those around him for helping him achieve his goals.
"I'm chuffed to have to have won all three awards; the young player was a long time ago and then the player award was a big surprise," he said.

"I'm chuffed to have to have won all three awards; the young player was a long time ago and then the player award was a big surprise," he said.
"This is the culmination of
around 25 years since my debut, so it's a credit to myself, my team-mates,
staff, family and friends.
"When you win each award you
look down the trophy and you see the players who have won it before and you
realise what a great accolade it is.
"This is the same. I've been
here on the nights when people have won it and it's legends of the game. I'm
fortunate to win it and I'll enjoy it.
