Manchester United stalwart Ryan Giggs believes that many more players will join him in the Premier League's 100-goal club, after he became the 17th player in the Premier League to score a century.

The midfielder celebrated his 36th birthday on Sunday, and manager Sir Alex Ferguson insisted that the ageing star still has two years left in him.

"It is about time I got 100 Premier League goals," Giggs is quoted by The Mirror as saying.

"I am obviously proud of the achievement. There are not many players who have done it. Hopefully there will be many more."

Meanwhile, team-mate Wayne Rooney has declared that it is an honour to play alongside the Welshman.

"Giggs is amazing," he said.

"He never surprises you. His energy and work rate, passing, and movement is unbelievable. He is a privilege to play with.

"You wouldn't think he was 36, he plays more like a 26-year-old. He is up and down and everywhere. It is great for him he got 100 league goals."
