(Reuters) - Manchester United greats Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes will kick-start plans by Vietnam to secure World Cup qualification for the cream of the country's next generation of players. Scholes, who played 499 times for his home town club, will work as a consultant alongside eight full-time staff. Giggs won 13 Premier League titles and made a record 963 appearances for United before managing them for four games following the sacking of David Moyes in 2014. Vietnam currently stand 121st in the FIFA world ranking. (Reporting by Hardik Vyas in Bengaluru; editing by John Stonestreet)
