Giggs: I'll never leave the game
RYAN Giggs hasn't mapped out his future but he knows the day isn't far off when his body tells him his playing career is over.
United's most decorated player will be 36 in November and only one player in the club's history has played beyond his 39th birthday.
Fellow Welshman Billy Meredith played his last game for the Reds as a 46-year-old.
But even for a record- breaker like Giggs that isn't in his plans.
"Football is my life and I will look for another challenge in the game," said Ryan.
"I accept I'm not going to be playing at 40 and when my body tells me I can't sustain playing at this level I know it will be time to call it a day.
"I want to finish playing at the top and have no intention of playing in the lower leagues. I have done my coaching courses and would like to stay in the game in some capacity.
"There are numerous opportunities that will allow me to stay in the game be it in coaching, the media or training in some capacity, but I have no direct plan.
"I'm told you can inadvertently fall into management like Mark Hughes and then you get bitten by the bug. At the moment I feel as good as I have been because I don't play as much. When I do play I feel a lot more refreshed."
Giggs is chasing a record- extending 12th Premier League title this season and an historic fourth in a row.
