Man Utd great Giggs releases statement after being charged with assault | OneFootball

Wales manager and Manchester United great Ryan Giggs has been charged with assaulting two women.

He is accused of causing actual bodily harm to a woman in her 30s and common assault of a woman in her 20s at an address in Salford last November.

Giggs is also charged with coercive or controlling behaviour.

He has been bailed to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 28 April.

Giggs, 47, said in a statement he would plead not guilty to the charges in court.

"I have full respect for the due process of law and understand the seriousness of the allegations," he said.

"I look forward to clearing my name."

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has confirmed assistant manager Robert Page will take charge of Wales at this summer's European Championships.

The FAW said there would be a board meeting to "discuss the developments and its impact on the association and the national team".

In his statement, Giggs added: "I would like to wish Robert Page, the coaching staff, the players and the supporters every success at the Euros this summer."
