The Welsh football legend was recently spotted watching his club, Salford City, play Leyton Orient at the Peninsula Stadium. The two-time Champions League winner was at the match alongside his girlfriend Zara Charles. Giggs had bought a ten per cent minority stake in the club alongside former teammates, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt in 2014.
This is the first time that Giggs has been seen publicly following the recent allegations against him. The Manchester United icon is accused of assaulting Kate Greville and her sister Emma at his home in Manchester. He also stands accused of coercive and controlling behaviour towards his ex-girlfriend over three years.
The Salford co-owner was put on an initial trial in August 2022. However, the jury was unable to reach a verdict on any of the charges. Giggs will face a re-trial for the case on the 31st of July this year.
The former Wales National team manager denied any wrongdoing. “My not guilty plea remains in relation to all charges.” He continued, “I am confident that justice will eventually be done and my name will be cleared of all the allegations.” The last time Giggs was spotted publicly was at Christmas of last year in a Manchester restaurant with Zara and ex-wife Stacey.
