Ryan Giggs could break Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time appearance
record for Manchester United after doubts over one of the Old
Trafford legend's games from the 1960s.
As it stands, Giggs can equal Charlton's tally of 759 club
matches if he plays in Barclays Premier League games against West
Ham and Wigan and the Champions League Final against Chelsea in
Moscow.
But club officials are looking at Charlton's record, amid
suggestions he may have missed an FA Cup tie in January 1962 with
'flu.
United may even make an announcement before today's game against
West Ham at Old Trafford and that would leave the way clear for
Giggs to claim the record in Russia.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I'm sure Ryan will be
involved in our last three games. It would certainly be an
achievement for him to match or beat Bobby's record.
"It's something very few players will do at this club. It's an
incredible span of almost 20 years that we're talking about.
"I don't think Bobby ever missed a game with injury during his
playing days with United, which is remarkable.
"The difference between now and then is squad rotation, which is
something Ryan has had to contend with."
They should just leave Sir Bobby's record alone la..Giggs
can wait till next season.
