Ryan Giggs has spoken of his desire to link up with former Manchester United teammate David Beckham at this summer's Olympics.

The Welshman is keeping his fingers crossed that Stuart Pearce gives him the call to represent Team GB and hopes that the former England captain will be playing alongside him.

"Becks is a friend and he's a great player and still remains that, so if that was to be, it would be great," said Giggs.

"Obviously I started my career with Becks playing in the youth team. Twenty years later to be still doing that, it would be great. We'll have to wait and see.

"I've not played in a tournament so it would be nice to do that, to be involved in a tournament atmosphere. I've never experienced that."

Giggs earned 64 caps during his time playing for Wales.
