MANCHESTER United manager Alex Ferguson has urged winger Ryan Giggs to extend his contract with the Premier League champion for another season.
Giggs, 38, is the most decorated player in United's history.
He holds the club's appearance record having played in 891 games while scoring 161 goals since signing for United in 1990, and remains a key player for Ferguson and showed his class once again during the 5-0 win at Fulham on Wednesday.
"I think Ryan can play another year," Ferguson said yesterday.
"There's no evidence at this moment in time that his energy, stamina or speed are decreasing.
"There's absolutely no evidence at all. In fact, it's exactly the same as it was the last two or three years. It's amazing," Ferguson said.
Welshman Giggs said last week he was "enjoying things more than ever" but needed to "see how I'm feeling" before making a final decision on whether to retire.
Ferguson, though, has made it clear he wants the 12-time Premier League winner to keep playing for the Old Trafford club.
"I know it's mid-season now and it all depends on what Ryan thinks about his future, too.
"He knows he can't go on forever, we know he can't go on forever," he said.
"But, on the evidence of what we're seeing at the moment, I think he can play for another year."
