Ryan Giggs will join ITV’s punditry team for the remainder of this summer’s European Championships in France.

The Manchester United assistant manager will travel to France in the coming days and will sit on the panel for live coverage of Poland’s quarter-final clash against Portugal.

It is expected that Giggs will be used at every remaining opportunity by ITV, given his high-profile status and the delay in him joining their team.

Giggs’ future at Old Trafford remains uncertain following the dismissal of Louis van Gaal and the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the club’s new manager.

The former Wales international has been offered the chance to stay on as part of the new backroom team but only in a lesser role.

Rui Faria, Mourinho’s long-standing deputy, will take the main assistant job that Giggs fulfilled under Van Gaal.

Giggs is believed to be keen to try his hand at management and has been linked with positions at Bolton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest in recent weeks, though both clubs have since filled their vacancies.

Bolton appointed Phil Parkinson, who left Bradford City after a successful five-year spell at Bradford City, and Philippe Montanier has taken over at the City Ground.
