Manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed on Friday that Ryan Giggs has extended his career at Premier League leaders Manchester United into another season.
Giggs is 37, but has signed an extension to the end of the 2011-12 season, which will give him 25 years at the club he joined in 1987.
“I spoke to Ryan a few days ago. He is happy to have another year and that is good news,” Ferguson told MUTV . “You can see his fitness. It is incredible. “He could do another year, who knows, another two years, because his fitness is so good.
“I never expected him to be here so long but as the years went on there were improvements in terms of sports science and fitness, and Ryan is very much into yoga too.
Giggs, who has 64 Wales caps, said he was delighted with the deal. “I am quite happy still playing at the moment and enjoying my football as much as ever,” he said. “I said if I was still enjoying myself and still getting picked I would carry on.”
