Ryan Giggs at Brunton Park for Carlisle United v Salford City

The former Manchester United star is one of Salford's 'Class of 92' co-owners.

And 49-year-old Giggs was in the directors' seating area as the visitors beat the Blues 3-2.

The ex-Wales national team manager's appearance to watch Salford came at a time he is facing a second trial this summer over allegations of assault and coercive behaviour against his former girlfriend Kate Greville.

The retrial is due to begin on July 31 after jurors in his first trial were unable to reach verdicts last year.

Giggs is one of a number of former Manchester United players who co-own Salford.

Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Paul Scholes are also involved, along with businessman Peter Lim.

Former Red Devils and England star Butt was also at the game.
