United set for contract talks with Giggs

(20-01-2011) Manchester United are planning on opening contract talks with veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs. The 37-year-old Welshman, who is closing in on 20 years as first-team player at Old Trafford, is approaching the end of his deal at Old Trafford. According to Red Devils chief executive David Gill, the club are keen to keep him for another season. "I wouldn't be surprised if he extends his contract for another season,” Gill told the Daily TelegraphI on Thursday. "That will be addressed in the next month or so. He has been playing well, keeps himself in great shape and is a wonderful advert for the modern footballer." United manager Sir Alex Ferguson labelled the winger an "incredible human being" on Sunday after he made his 600th league appearance for the club against Tottenham.
