Ryan Giggs admits his sole motivation is winning the Premiership
title, rather than surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton's Manchester
United appearances record.
The Welsh winger has moved into second in the club's all-time list
this season and has now featured in 693 games for the club.
He is within sight of Charlton's landmark of 759 games, but Giggs
concedes his focus is on ending United's wait to reclaim the
Premiership.
"It isn't something I have really thought about because 18 months
is still a long way away," Giggs told the News of the World about
reaching Charlton's tally.
"Obviously, if I am still playing, and playing well, then I
wouldn't want to go anywhere else, but reaching 700 appearances
would be nice.
"The thing that motivates me now is the fact that we haven't won
the Premiership for three years. That drives me on like nothing
else."
At 33, Giggs is aware he does not have many more seasons in front
of him, and he is determined to make the most of his time left at
the top level.
He added: "My current form is good because of a mixture of a lot of
things. It's down to experience and the fact I can see the
finishing line.
"It means I want to enjoy every game of every season. I want to get
everything I can out of my football career and that is what I am
trying to do now.
"I don't know when I will finish, but when I was 21, I thought the
end would never come.
"Then when I got into my 30s I realised I had to enjoy it,
appreciate everything that I was doing."
