Það er rétt að minna á stórgóða yfirferð okkar um Louis van Gaal og hverju við megum vænta af honum á næstu tímabilum. Ráðning van Gaal er þó ekki eina stórfrétt dagsins því að Ryan Giggs var að leggja skónna sína á hilluna til þess að verða aðstoðarmaður van Gaal. Við munum gera ferli hans betri skil síðar meir en þangað til er ekki úr vegi að kíkja á hvað tístheimur hefur haft að segja um tíðindi dagsins:

In a way this is the day the Glazers completed their takeover of Manchester United.

Fantastic opportunity for both @ManUtd as Louis van Gaal to connect their qualities in this crazy World of football! All the best in the UK!

Ryan Giggs retires today….so many gold medals he puts B.A. Baracus to shame! No player adapted their game as well & as effective as Giggsy

Twitter is not the right venue for me to tell you what I think of Ryan Giggs. He's probably the greatest United player ever. Thanks Ryan!

In 50 years' time people will look at Ryan Giggs' career in history books and say 'did that really happen?'. Stats are astonishing.
