Giggs extends Man United contract

Giggs, who made his United debut in March 1991, has made a club record 898 appearances, scoring 162 goals.

"When I signed my first contract, I never thought I'd be able to play at United for 22 years but I feel good and I know I can still contribute to keeping the team pushing for honours," Giggs said in a statement.

"Winning the club's 19th title [last season] was a great feeling but this club is all about what we do next and I'm really pleased I can be part of that."

"Ryan is a marvellous player," manager Sir Alex Ferguson said in a statement.

"In many ways, he epitomises all my teams here at United; he has constantly re-invented himself, adapted to the changing nature of the game and retained that desire and hunger for success.

"In every training session and match, he is the example for others to follow. The young players in the dressing room have a great chance to learn from a player who will continue to break records that anyone in the game will find hard to beat."
