Ryan Giggs dines with David Beckham and Class of 92 stars

His 10-year marriage to Stacey Cook was finally settled on Thursday, after months of going back and forth in court.

And Ryan Giggs marked the occasion with a reunion meal with David Beckham and a number of his Class of 92 Manchester United teammates later that evening.

In an image uploaded to Instagram, the legendary sportsmen are seen beaming as they sit with the likes of Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and his brother Phil, who snapped a selfie of the gang hanging out together at his sibling’s Manchester bar Mahiki.

Sitting next to David at a long table draped in white linen, Ryan cut a stylish figure in a crisp white shirt under a black blazer as he revelled with a group that included business magnate Peter Lim.

And it seems Gary might have had one too many at the mini reunion as Phil shared an update on Instagram the morning after the night before. 

Phil pulled no punches in revealing Gary’s fragile state, posting a picture of the former right back with his eyes closed in the back of a taxi. 

He mercilessly added the caption: ‘Don’t go out with the big boys if you can’t handle it, just off for a run, me.’

Hours earlier the former Valencia boss looked to be having the time of his life, grinning broadly during an Instagram story.

Butt stuck out his tongue to the camera whilst Giggs frowned with his old team-mates clowning around behind. 

The class of 92 were a key member short, with Paul Scholes conspicuous by his absence. 

The players have a long association with Lim, with Butt, the Neville brothers, Scholes and Giggs forging a business partnership with the Singapore billionaire.

Giggs was out after settling his £40m High Court divorce battle with estranged wife Stacey this week, the couple who separated last April, calling an end to their seven-year marriage but remaining ‘firm friends’.

The Class of 92 stars first crossed paths with the business magnate as players when they promoted a United themed cafe franchise he owned in the far east. 

And now Lim has financially backed a number of their hotel and property projects having originally made his fortune in paper pulp.

He bought a 75 per cent share in Hotel Football near Old Trafford which was built for almost £30m, the deals also extended to the same stake in future Hotel and Cafe Football businesses. 

The 133-room property is the flagship of the United players’ enterprise and boasts a restaurant catered by a Michelin star chef and even a football pitch on the roof.  

And Gary Neville’s relationship with Lim extended beyond the boardroom.

He was appointed Valencia manger by Lim, though his disastrous tenure was cut short by mutual consent just four months after taking up the role. 

It appears their relationship hasn’t been blighted by Neville’s unsuccessful stint at the Mestalla and no doubt the Class of 92 stars have more in the pipeline with their billionaire partner.
