The Welsh wing wizard, 36, knows his playing career is nearing
an end and believes taking over as Old Trafford boss would be 'the
ultimate'.
But he knows he will have to do an apprenticeship at a lower
level and is not expecting Alex Ferguson to let go of the reins any
time soon.
Giggs, who was in the frame to take over as Wales manager from
John Toshack last month, said: "I think I will probably finish my
career here.
"I am at an age now where it is coming to an end pretty soon. I
cannot see myself dropping down leagues and playing at a lesser
level.
"If you do decide to go into management, for me the ultimate
jobs are Wales and Manchester United, purely because I have played
for my country and for the team I supported. Those two would be the
best ones for me.
"If that was to happen I shouldn't think I'd be able to take
over straight away. So if I was to go into management I would have
to go elsewhere and be very successful - then come back."
