SAF to soldier on – Giggsy

Sir Alex Ferguson still has at least another five years as manager of Manchester United, according to club legend Ryan Giggs. The 36-year-old Giggs, who is expected to sign a one-year contract extension at the end of the season, expects to retire before his 67-year-old manager. "The manager is as good as ever and will go on for a long time," said Giggs on Tuesday. "I can still see him as manager of United in five years' time, easily, because as long as he is healthy he will have the desire to carry on. He has a great team around him, he has his passions away from the game and can get away with his horse racing. When he comes back to football he is refreshed, and I know he still has that desire." Ferguson took charge of his 900th league game earlier this week when United beat Wolves.
