The role of assistant coach has instead gone to Mourinho's trusted lieutenant Rui Faria.

Giggs was disappointed that United went back on what he saw as a gentleman's agreement which would see him succeed previous boss Louis van Gaal. 

Giggs is set to end his 29-year association with Manchester United
