Ryan GIGGS will be offered a job for life with Manchester
United. The long-serving Wales winger will be handed a new one-year
contract when his current deal runs out at the end of next season.
And when Giggs, 33, finally decides to retire, United will ask him
to become an ambassador for the club. In that role he would travel
around the world promoting United's image and business
brand.
Former United great Sir Bobby Charlton, a club director, is already
employed in that capacity. Giggs is the longest-serving player in
United's squad, having made his debut in 1991, and has won more
medals than anyone in the club's history. Giggs is also just 43
appearances shy of equalling Charlton's club record of 759 - which
he is set to pass if he agrees to United's offer of a one-year
contract extension.
Giggs has admitted his place is under threat following the arrivals
of both Nani and Anderson during the summer. But Ferguson is
clearly looking for Giggs to play on with United at least up until
the age of 35.
