Giggs has enjoyed a haul of two Champions Leagues and 10 Premier League titles in his career at Old Trafford.

Welsh veteran Giggs, 34, feels the aura created by that sustained success cannot be bought.

Abu Dhabi United Group, headed by Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim, can erode United’s dominance.

“City have the richest owner in the world – but I still see United as the biggest club in the world,” Giggs said.

“United have a status and history that it has taken years to build up. It stretches back to the Busby Babes, to players like Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best. It will be very interesting to see what happens at City, but what we have at United is very special.

“You see it when we go abroad in pre-season, you appreciate how popular United is. That popularity is a result of our history. Money can’t necessarily get you that.”
