Rooney was dropped to bench by Jose Mouirnho before the international break, following a slow start to the domestic season.
The 31-year-old was then dropped to the bench by England interim manager, Gareth Southgate in a 2018 World Cup qualifier.
"I see a player who's going through a transitional period, I went through it when I was 29 or 30, where I was a winger and I couldn't knock it around a defender and get it the other side," Giggs said on ITV.
"I feel a little bit sorry for him. Towards the end of last season and for England in the summer he was played in that deeper role, then he was told he's playing as a number nine or a number 10. He's probably a bit confused.
"The only way he can get it back is on the training pitch.
"I don't see him playing in a specific position, he's got the talent to play so many positions, and the experience."
