{{Ryan Giggs has signed a new one-year contract with Manchester United.
\nThe 39-year-old winger’s deal will tie him to the Old Trafford club until June 2014 and complete his 23rd season as a first-team player.}}<\/p>\n
Former Wales skipper Giggs made his United debut on 2 March 1991 and has scored 168 goals in 931 appearances.<\/p>\n
“I am feeling good, enjoying my football more than ever and, most importantly, I feel I am making a contribution to the team,” said Giggs.<\/p>\n
“This is an exciting team to be part of, with great team spirit, and we are again pushing for trophies as we head towards the business end of the season.”<\/p>\n
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: “Ryan is an example to us all, the way in which he has, and continues to, look after himself.<\/p>\n
“What can I say about Ryan that hasn’t already been said? He is a marvellous player and an exceptional human being.<\/p>\n
“He has fantastic energy for the game and it is wonderful to see. Ryan seems to reach a new milestone every week, and to think that he now has 23 unbroken years of league goals behind him is truly amazing in the modern-day game.<\/p>\n
“His form this year shows his ability and his enjoyment of the game are as strong as ever and I am absolutely delighted that he has signed a new contract.”<\/p>\n
The new deal means Giggs will play past his 40th birthday on 29 November.<\/p>\n
