Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs is set to be offered a new contract by boss Sir Alex Ferguson. The 35 year old has been in impressive form again this year, after helping Man Utd to a glorious double last year.

"He has got to be considered world-class even at his age," said Ferguson. "He is incredible and would deserve to be among the candidates for Footballer of the Year."

It is understood that Giggs will be offered a one year deal; and despite the interest of Sunderland, he is expected to agree terms on it.
