United legends roll on

The illustrious Manchester United careers of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes will roll on for another season. The ageing duo, 36 and 35 respectively, were told on Friday that they would be offered one year extensions to their current contracts. Said United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: "Every player who gets into his 30s starts to wonder what's going to happen. We will certainly be offering Ryan a new contract for next season, when he'll be 37. That is what we think of him, he has been amazingly consistent. And when you consider Paul's performance at West Ham, and at Wolfsburg in midweek, there is no reason to think he can't do it again next season as well.” In other news, 19-year-old striker Danny Wellbeck extended his contract with the Red Devils until 2013.
