Date published: 17 January 2013
MANCHESTER United boss Sir Alex Ferguson backed 39-year-old star Ryan Giggs to continue playing for the club for another year after the veteran midfielder’s performance in last night’s 1–0 FA Cup third–round replay victory over West Ham.
Giggs, captain for the game, delivered a virtuoso display at Old Trafford as United set up a fourth–round home clash with Fulham.
Ferguson said: “He will play for another year. There are no signs of tiredness or weakness in his game, his quality is still there, he has fantastic balance and he has appetite for it.
“He is just an incredible human being.”
United’s goal came in the ninth minute from Wayne Rooney, back in action after five matches out with a knee injury. The England striker turned in Javier Hernandez’s square ball from close range.
