Coaching role: Ryan Giggs (right) and Paul Scholes

Ferguson said: "We want a structure whereby former players are part of the club, as we are doing with Bryan Robson, who is an ambassador.

"The model is Bayern Munich and I have been saying for years to our people that our former players who have been a great credit to the club should always be included in the future, like we have done with Ole Gunnar Solksjaer this year.

"What we are doing next year is bringing Ole in to run the reserves along with another coach, Warren Joyce.

"And I would agree with retaining people like Ryan as well. He's taking his coaching badges."

Giggs, 34, who set a club appearance record of 759 games in Moscow to cap his 17-year career, is due to take his UEFA 'A' licence with the FA of Wales in Aberystwyth next month.
