Manchester United's Ryan Giggs & Paul Scholes To Be Offered New Contracts

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is set to offer new deals for Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, despite recent rumours claiming Scholes may be retiring.

Speculation was stirred last week with Scholes, 35, hinting that this season may be his last with the Red Devils, who he has been with since 1995, whilst Giggs, 36, has been an uncertainty for months.

But Ferguson has confirmed that the duo will remain at Old Trafford next season, telling BBC Sports: "Ryan will be offered a new contract for next season, which is an indication of what we think of him coming up to 37 next season"

"Paul will be offered one too," he added.

The 67-year-old quashed the idea that Scholes may be retiring, stating that matters were made clearer after a discussion with the veteran.

"I spoke to Paul and he said he didn't actually say he was thinking of his future.

"When you get to that age every player starts to think about what the future holds for him.

"But when you see Paul's performances at West Ham and in Wolfsburg last week there is no reason to think he can't do it again next year again," he said," he concluded.
