No deal concern for Giggs

Ryan Giggs insists he is in no rush to put pen to paper and is confident of agreeing a new Manchester United contract.
Giggs, 33, has less than nine months to run on his existing deal but does not anticipate any problems in extending his stay in the United first-team to a 17th season.
"We have had a brief chat, so hopefully it will get sorted out sooner rather than later," he said.
"But there have never really been any problems ever with my contracts. Maybe two or three years ago, but even then it was not a massive one."
Giggs believes his long-term relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson helps when it comes to discussing new contracts.
"We trust each other, which comes from 15 or 16 years in the first team," he added.
"I don't think I need to play well in specific games otherwise I won't be offered a contract.
"Generally speaking, if I am doing well, everything else will take care of itself."
Meanwhile, the former Wales international, who is close to passing Sir Bobby Charlton's club record of 759 appearances, has refused to put a timescale on the rest of his career.
"On Monday (after the 2-0 win over Chelsea), I thought I only had a week left in the game because I was so knackered," he added.
"But generally I feel quite good. This year the squad is that much bigger than it was last season, so hopefully we can all cope with the injuries and tiredness a bit better."
