Ryan Giggs wrapped up warm as he stepped out for a dog walk with his model girlfriend Zara Charles in Manchester on Friday.
The football coach, 48, and the beauty, 33, both wore casual ensembles as they got some light exercise during the UK’s cold winter spell.
His outing comes amid legal woes, as he is due to stand trial on January 24 2022 after being accused of controlling and coercing his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville.
Out and about: Ryan Giggs wrapped up warm as he stepped out for a dog walk with his model girlfriend Zara Charles in Manchester on Friday
Ryan cut a low-key figure in an orange and black coat and casual trousers as he headed out for a stroll with his girlfriend.
Zara wrapped up in a cosy black padded jacket, with waterproof trousers and trainers for the relaxed dog walk.
At the end of July, a court heard that Ryan allegedly kicked his former girlfriend Kate Greville, 36, in the back before throwing her out of a five-star hotel bedroom naked after she accused him of flirting with other women.

Ryan is also accused of head-butting Kate and controlling and coercive behaviour against her lasting more than three years.
He allegedly assaulted his former lover and caused her actual bodily harm at his home in, Worsley, Greater Manchester, on November 1 last year.
The Welsh football coach is also charged with common assault by beating against Ms Grenville’s sister Emma Greville during the same incident at his home.

Manchester Crown Court heard the alleged controlling or coercive behaviour took place between August 2017 and November 2020 the details of which were set out by prosecutor Tim Evans.
Ryan, who denies all three charges, spoke only to confirm his name and enter not guilty pleas from the dock during the 33-minute hearing.
Lisa Roberts QC, defending, said: ‘These are serious allegations each of which is challenged.’ The court also heard that there’s an ongoing civil case involving ownership of the couple’s dog.

Trial: Ryan is also accused of head-butting Kate and controlling and coercive behaviour against her lasting more than three years
At an earlier hearing at Manchester Magistrates’ Court, prosecutor Andrea Griffiths said the assault charge against Kate was an alleged domestic assault involving a ‘deliberate headbutt’ aggravated by the fact Giggs was ‘in drink’.
He was charged with offences in April and he issued a statement at the time, saying: ‘I have full respect for the due process of law and understand the seriousness of the allegations. I will plead not guilty in court and look forward to clearing my name.’
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) later announced it had noted the decision of The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to charged Giggs and caretaker boss Robert Page would manage the country at the European Championship finals.
The former Manchester United midfielder was bailed and appeared at a pre-trial hearing on October 8. His conditions of bail are that he must not contact Kate or Emma Greville or go to any address where they are.
