Manchester United youngster Zach Giggs has completed his move to Sheffield United.
Ryan Giggs’ son Zach Giggs has left Manchester United and signed a scholarship deal with Sheffield United.
The move was confirmed via The Examiner after Giggs underwent a successful trial with the Blades.
The report states Sheffield United ‘were impressed after taking a closer look’.
Zach Giggs leaves Manchester United
Zach Giggs, 16, was part of Manchester United’s academy and made his debut for the under-18s side in late 2021.
But he has not featured for the 18s this season and it had become apparent his future lay away from Carrington.
The young defender had represented United in pre-season in Northern Ireland, and has also starred for Wales at under-17s level.
The Mail reported in early April that Manchester United were not planning to offer Giggs a new deal.
He has now successfully found a new club to continue his development, joining newly promoted Sheffield United.
His dad Ryan Giggs is Manchester United’s record appearance holder, and former caretaker manager.
Sons of United greats
Harvey Neville, son of Phil, got as far as Manchester United under-21 level before leaving for Inter Miami.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr was in the academy too briefly, but he left when his father departed the club at the end of last year.
Kai Rooney is still part of Manchester United’s academy and hopes to one day follow in the footsteps of his all-time top goalscorer father. No pressure.
