When asked if the now Juventus star’s conduct was not acceptable, the Wales manager replied: “Maybe. I don't know if I pinned him.

"I might have told him, ‘We don’t do this’ and then he went and scored a hat-trick! 'I drink what I want, Giggsy!'”

The incident gave an insight into the standards under Sir Alex Ferguson at United and how Giggs played until he was 40.

Giggs made a club-record 963 appearances for the Red Devils but he has revealed the sacrifices made along the way to extend his longevity.

He told the Utd Podcast: “I love chocolate and loads of butter on my toast. When I wasn’t playing well or felt a bit sluggish I cut them out completely.

"If I was playing well and having loads of butter I’d carry on. It wasn’t physical, it was mental. It was punishing yourself.

"I had Dairy Milk in the cupboard until I scored.”

During his glittering playing career, Giggs went to the extremes — and not just with his diet.

The Welsh winger once wore tights in a derby against City at the Etihad in February 2005 in a bid to aid his hamstrings.

Giggs, 46, said: “I got all the whistles when I came onto the pitch.

"Looking back I probably should have just stuck with wintergreen and deep heat. It would be normal now. I was a trend-setter.”

While Giggs took stick for his attire, the Wales manager will not get ribbed on Twitter as he has never had an account.

He added: “We won a game but didn’t play well.

"I came into the press conference and a reporter told me I was trending on Twitter. I thought that would be good. But apparently it wasn’t. I was trending, ‘Giggs out!’

"That’s another reason I’m not on social media. You can just block out that noise. It’s not for me.”
