Central Midfielder: Ryan Giggs:

Ryan Giggs is the benchmark of longevity in English as well as world football. He spent 19 supremely successful seasons with the United senior team after graduating from the Academy in 1992. When he retired from football at the age of 39, Giggs had already won 13 Premier League titles and 2 UEFA Champions’ Leagues. No other footballer has won the Premier League title as many times as Giggs. He also holds the record for most appearance in the League. In all, he played 963 matches for United and scored 168 goals.

Giggs was very versatile as a footballer and could play with equal élan in the central midfield and in the wings. He was a two-footed player as well and could play in either of the wings.

Giggs’s vision and ball skills set him apart from most of the other players and United supporters still cherish the memories of his outstanding solo goal against Arsenal in the FA cup final in 1999.
