Fergie marvels at 'youthful' Giggs

Alex Ferguson is amazed at the youthful attitude Ryan Giggs still shows at the ripe old age of 35.

The Manchester United legend carved out another piece of history for himself last night, scoring his side’s equaliser in a 2-1 Champions League win over German champions Wolfsburg.

It made Giggs the ninth United player to reach 150 goals for the club, adding another milestone to a career that has already seen him amass an incredible 11 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues, plus countless other medals and accolades.

Yet the PFA player of the year remains remarkably unaffected. And Ferguson cannot help but admire Giggs’ continuing approach to the game.

“All Ryan is doing at the moment is continuing to play,” reflected Ferguson.

“The amazing thing is he shows this incredible youthfulness about his performance. It is as if he has just started his career.

“You can give him as many as you like, he doesn’t get affected by it, which is good.

“What more can you say? He is continuing like a young man. He is enjoying his football, which is wonderful to see.”
