Man Utd winger Giggs relaxed over new deal

Giggs’ current contract expires at the end of the season.

He said: “There have never really been any problems ever with my contracts.

“Maybe two or three years ago there was a little problem but not a massive one.

“There is trust there and that comes from around 16 years in the first team. If I am playing well everything else will look after itself.

“There has been a brief chat so hopefully it will get sorted out sooner rather than later. It is not something I worry myself about.

“Pressure playing for United in itself is enough. You don’t want to put added pressure on.

“I don’t think I need to play well in this game and then that one or else I won’t be offered a contract. I don’t think about that. I just try and enjoy it.

“I feel the more I enjoy my game the better I play. That has been the case over the last few years because I know I am coming to the end of my career. I am out to enjoy myself.

“I never give a thought to how long I can go on. I don’t think you can afford to.

“At the end of last season I felt tired because we had a lot of games.

“We were going for the Premiership title and the Champions League and the FA Cup but this year the squad is that much bigger I hope we can cope with injuries and tiredness so certain players don’t have to what they had to do last season.

“I just have to look to the near future and concentrate on that. I don’t look beyond a season.

“Every season there is pressure on the team and as an individual the competition is part of the pressure that’s always there playing for Manchester United.

“I don’t feel any different this season to what I did last season or the one before. I am confident in my own ability that if I play well I will be in the team and if I don’t then I won’t be.

“There is obviously so many forward options for the manager now. That’s fact. It might be a little harder to get back into the team if you are not playing well but I have confidence in my own ability.

“I thought last year I might have to accept less games and then I ended up playing more than I have done for 10 years!

“I feel good. I feel as fit as ever. The problem now is that the older you get the recovery is harder. When you have games every three days it is a little bit harder to recover.”
