Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has signed a new one year contract with the club. He’ll have completed 21 seasons by the time June 2012 comes around and who’s to say he can’t do more! Giggs has picked up eleven Premier League medals and two European Cup titles in his two decades at the club.

Giggs, now 37 has signed for a further 12 months at United. This season has marked the 20th anniversary of his first team debut. Since then he’s gone on to make a record 862 appearances for the club, scoring 158 goals. If he plays one more league game he’ll tie Sir Bobby Charlton’s club league appearance record of 606 games.

On the club’s website, manutd.com, Sir Alex has said:

“You run out of words to describe Ryan Giggs. He is a marvellous player and a wonderful man. To have the desire and the ability to play at the top level in such a physically demanding position at his age requires a special person. He is still turning in man of the match performances and his experience is so vital for the younger players in the squad.”

Giggs told the site:

“All I’ve ever wanted to do is play for United and I’ve been lucky enough to do that for 20 years. It’s great to know I’m still contributing to the team’s success and I feel I’ve got a lot to offer on and off the pitch. This is an exciting time to be involved with so many good young players coming through.”

We look forward to yet another year with the Welshman tearing up and down that left wing!

  1. Really pleased to see Giggsy sign up for another year. He’s still a massive contributor and integral to this team.

    Agreed with Baldrick, while getting the OBE for playing a sport is a little funny it would be amazing to see Sir Ryan Giggs on a team sheet. On that note, has there been any footballer to be knighted while still playing?
