Giggs plans to play on

Ryan Giggs has confirmed he intends to extend his Manchester United career into another season.

The 37-year-old has been playing on season-long contracts for a number of years now, with a decision generally taken in the spring about whether he wants to carry on.

United boss Alex Ferguson has offered high praise for Giggs’ recent performances and the veteran Welshman has now revealed his desire to continue his stellar career into 2012.

“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. We will sit down and talk but I am really looking forward to playing next year.”
