The Manchester United Museum has launched an exhibition dedicated to the career of legendary player and current club assistant manager, Ryan Giggs.

Celebrating Giggs’ illustrious career – which included 963 appearances for United along with a record haul of medals and accolades – the new retrospective enables fans to view some of the former footballer’s most prized and treasured possessions for the very first time.

The exhibition, titled Ryan Giggs: The Man For All Seasons, comprises more than 40 items, most notably Giggs’ medals from United’s famous 1999 treble, multiple Premier League winners medals and the ball with which he scored the very first of his 168 club goals.

The interactive exhibition will allow visitors to get a close-up look at some of Giggs’ medals, while several specially-recorded interviews with the player will be available to watch.

"It is a great honour to have an exhibition dedicated to my time at Manchester United. I have spent my whole career at the same club and I am proud to have played a part in United’s achievements over the past few decades,” said Giggs.

“Many of the items on display have never been seen by the public and the ones I've chosen to loan to the museum are the ones that mean the most to me. I am so happy to be able to share these special mementos with the fans.”

Ryan Giggs: The Man For All Seasons is open to visitors to the Manchester United Museum and Tour until June 2016.
