Ryan Giggs set for 1,000th senior appearance
Ryan Giggs could play his 1,000th senior game today when Manchester United take on Norwich this afternoon at Old Trafford. Kick off is at 3pm.
The 39-year-old Welshman's first debut was against Everton at the age of 18 on the 2 March 1991.
Earlier this week, he signed a one-year contract that secures him a 23rd season with the Red Devils.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson paid tribute to the player's achievement saying:
"What an incredible career. He seems to reach a new milestone every week. It's unique in the modern game, but I think it's more than that - I don't think it will ever be achieved again by anyone."
