Manchester United great Ryan Giggs is keen to help Wales with their Euros planning.

Wales appointed Rob Page after Giggs was charged with actual bodily harm and two other offences last month. The former United star has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Page revealed he had spoken to Giggs recently and that the former Wales player, who steered them to qualification, was open to helping on an informal basis as they prepare for only their second major tournament since 1958.

"We've been in touch and I had a great conversation with him last week," said Page. "You don't go from being friends and colleagues and working together in a close environment to then not speaking.

"Of course I'm going to speak to him and he wants what's best for Wales. With regards to decisions and finalising things that will be me, but what Ryan has said is that if I need any advice or a different perspective on things then he's always going to be there.

"It's great to hear that but ultimately now the decisions moving forward will be from myself and my coaching staff.

"These are difficult circumstances, there is no hiding from that. We are dealing with the situation in the best way possible. Common sense prevails and it's continuity that the players want as well.

"Finally and thankfully we are all clear about what is going to happen, Ryan included, and we can focus on the job in hand – preparing a team for Euro 2020.'"
