Despite any animosity the pair may have shared over the years, Rhodri, 46, seemed to defend his older brother after an Arsenal fan compared him with Bukayo Saka.
The Gunners fan account wrote: “Bukayo Saka has already beaten Ryan Giggs’best ever Premier League season with ten games to spare.
“Premier League legend?”
The post was referring to Saka having scored 16 goals and laid on 13 assists in all competitions this season – numbers that Giggs never reached.
Rhodri subsequently quoted-tweeted the post, including a graphic featuring all his brother’s trophies.
Ryan won a staggering 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, four FA Cups, four League Cups, a Uefa Supercup, Intercontinental Cup and Club World Cup during his incredible Man Utd career – while Saka has so far only won the FA Cup.
Rhodri captioned the image: “Good luck Bukayo.”
He subsequently tweeted a tongue-in-cheek gif of a man with a fishing rod.

Then he followed up by reposting a Man Utd fan’s tweet, which read: “Man just stating facts. Saka wont get near that level of trophies.”
Ryan recently landed a new job, two years after leaving his post as Wales boss.
He has been appointed as director of football at League Two Salford City, the team he co-owns alongside the likes of David Beckham and Paul Scholes.
Rhodri, meanwhile, spoke about his relationship with his brother while appearing on the Central Club podcast earlier this year.
After claiming that Ryan felt he’d sold stories about him in the past, Rhodri blasted: “If I was going to sell some stories I’d have done it last year and buried this p****, buried him.
“There’s some stories I know that could have buried him, so if I wanted to sell stories I’d do it, but why would I want to do that? Why? I wouldn’t.
“I’m not that bitter and not that twisted, but he needs to be careful, because I could have. A lot of people could have, but they didn’t, and it’s all from him making the choices he’s made, no one else.
“You can’t go through life and this nice, innocent family man when you’re banging everything in sight. How old is he, 48, 49? He needs to grow the f*** up.”
