Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson says Ryan Giggs had 'fantastic temperament'

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson recalled that Ryan Giggs had a “fantastic temperament” as he appeared in court on Friday, 19 August, to defend his ex-player.

The Welsh football coach is on trial accused of using controlling and coercive behaviour against his ex-partner Kate Greville, and assaulting her sister Emma Greville.

Sir Alex said that he never saw Mr Giggs lose his temper at the club.
