Ryan Giggs has taken on a punditry role with ITV for the remainder of Euro 2016.
The 42-year-old is expected to depart Manchester United this summer following Jose Mourinho's arrival.
Giggs was assistant boss to Louis van Gaal and while Mourinho hopes he will stay, the role on offer is a reduced one.
And Giggs' future has been thrown into further doubt after he signed up with ITV, reports the Manchester Evening News.
