According to the family’s urgent statement, Giggs underwent the transplant in Riyadh in hopes of recovering from long-term respiratory complications. Initially, doctors were optimistic, and close sources described the procedure as successful. However, in the past few hours, complications reportedly arose, and the transplant has now been declared a failure. Medical staff are said to be working tirelessly to stabilize him, but his condition remains very serious.

Ryan Giggs, remembered not only as a Manchester United legend but also as one of the greatest left wingers in Premier League history, has millions of fans who have followed his career for decades.
