First, it was Liverpool star Diogo Jota, and now reports claim a Manchester United ICON has been found lifeless and helpless in his apartment this morning

The football community is mourning after the tragic passing of Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, who was found dead in his Manchester flat on July 3, 2025, only weeks following the heartbreaking loss of Liverpool star Diogo Jota in a car crash.

Reports from *The Sun* and *Manchester Evening News* reveal that the 54-year-old Welsh icon, regarded as one of United’s all-time greatest players, was discovered unresponsive by a friend at around 8:00 AM GMT.

Emergency responders declared him dead at the scene, with Greater Manchester Police confirming there are “no suspicious circumstances” and indicating a potential heart attack as the cause, pending the coroner’s findings.

The news has deeply shocked fans, former teammates, and the football world, triggering an outpouring of tributes on social media.

Giggs, who played 963 games and netted 168 goals for United from 1990 to 2014, secured 13 Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and two Champions League trophies under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Famous for his brilliant wing play and memorable goals such as his 1999 FA Cup semi-final winner versus Arsenal, Giggs spent his entire career at one club, holding records of 114 assists and 162 Premier League goals.

After retiring, he managed Wales and briefly acted as United’s interim manager in 2014. Though he faced legal troubles in 2021-2022—of which he was acquitted—these incidents affected his public reputation. Lately, Giggs had worked as a pundit and was rumored to take a coaching position at Wrexham, according to *Manchester Evening News*.

This tragedy comes after the devastating deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother André in a car accident in Spain on July 3, 2025, heightening the sorrow within football. Gary Neville, Giggs’ former teammate, shared on X, “Devastated to hear about Ryan. A brother on the pitch, a legend forever. My heart goes to his family.” United’s official statement said, “Ryan Giggs was the heartbeat of our club. His loss is immeasurable.” Fans on X are stunned, with @MUFCForever tweeting, “First Jota, now Giggs? Football can’t catch a break,” and @RedDevilsFan commenting, “Giggsy defined United—RIP.”

United’s team, already dealing with tensions from Ruben Amorim’s decision to ban four players from pre-season, now confronts this emotional loss. The club intends to hold a minute’s silence before their upcoming friendly against Leeds United. The deaths of Giggs and Jota mark a somber time for the sport, with the Premier League set to pay tribute to bot
