Club's legionnaires - goalkeeper Tim Howard and defender Ryan Giggs - have signed new contracts with the team that finished third in the English Premier League. American T. Howard will represent the "Red Devils" until 2009, while R. Giggs until June 2008.
Concerns were raised about the future career of Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs in the team. However, the 31-year-old footballer, playing for "Man Utd" since 1991, agreed to sign a new contract. By the way, while wearing the "red devils" jersey, he has already played 635 matches and has not given up hopes of improving the match records set by Bill Foulkes (688 matches) and Bobby Charlton (759).
Together with the team, the player has won 7 English champion titles, triumphed thrice in the Football Association (FA) Cup, and once, in 1999, won the UEFA Champions League trophy. On Sunday, he may add another FA Cup trophy to his collection if "Man Utd" win in the tournament final.
"I always wanted to stay here and I'm glad everything worked out," - said R. Giggs.
Meanwhile, 25-year-old Tim Howard arrived in England in July 2003 from the U.S. team New York Metrostars. Since his arrival, the American has not been able to secure a place in the starting lineup, which he constantly shares with Roy Carroll.
However, R. Carroll is likely to leave the English club this summer, opening up opportunities for T. Howard to earn the trust of Sir Alex Ferguson.
The goalkeeper himself did not hide that he feels great in Manchester and wants to continue representing this team.
