Ryan Giggs Set To Be Offered A New Contract By Manchester United

Giggs is approaching his 35th birthday,
but is still seen as an integral part of the
Manchester United set up, having made
43 appearances last season.

The last of those came in the Champions League
final, in which Giggs surpassed Bobby Charlton's
all-time appearance record for the club - 758.
The former Wales international signed a one-
year contract extension 12 months ago, extend-
ing his terms to 2009, and has seemingly suff-
iciently impressed to earn another renewed deal.
His new contract would take him beyond his 36th
birthday, but Sir Alex Ferguson recently declared
his continued confidence in Giggs' abilities.

Ferguson hinted yesterday to the press that Giggs
is no longer considered an out and out wide-man
by the club, he is seen as a central midfield player
or second forward, in a bid to stave off the effects
of a near 20 career running the flank at Old Trafford.

I had even written him off myself two years ago.
Since then he has won two MORE Prem League titles.
I'll just keep ma gob shut in the future.
