Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs will make his comeback in a playing capacity as he will reportedly join the Indian Futsal League.

According to The Sun, Giggs will join former team-mate Paul Scholes in the Indian Futsal League, along with a whole host of legends.

Other marquee players in the list are former Barcelona and Brazil global Ronaldinho, former Argentina striker Hernan Crespo and former Spain defender Michel Salgado.

The competition begins this Friday in Chennai and Goa and runs until July 24 and is run by former Barcelona and Real Madrid star Luis Figo. It follows the Indian Premier League and Premier Badminton League.

With former Portuguese worldwide Deco having to drop out last minute because of injury, former Man United striker Falcao will replace him as the sixth marquee player for the league. Speaking to the official league website, the Englishman said: “Futsal is a fascinating format that has played a pivotal role in developing the skills of some of the greatest football players”.
