Manchester United<\/a> veteran Ryan Giggs<\/a> is set to discuss a contract extension with manager Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The midfielder, who turned 38 at the end of November, has made 15 appearances for the club so far this season in all competitions, scoring three goals.<\/p>\n

Giggs’ current deal is due to expire at the end of the season, but the Welsh winger has suggested he is not ready to follow former team-mate Paul Scholes into retirement.<\/p>\n

“It’s almost that time when I’ll sit down with the manager and see what his plans are and I’ll see how I’m feeling [about] playing for another season,” he told the club’s official website.<\/p>\n

“At the moment I feel really good and I’m enjoying things more than ever, so we’ll just have to wait and see.”<\/p>\n

Giggs was on target in the 5-0 victory over Fulham on Wednesday to continue his record of scoring in every Premier League season, and is enjoying his role as a central midfield player alongside Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n

He added: “I love playing there. I’ve made no secret of that and it’s probably my preferred position now.<\/p>\n

“I said the other night it’s a joy for me and Michael to play in midfield when you’ve got the movement in front of you like we had at Fulham.<\/p>\n

“It makes our job so much easier when you’ve got three or four players making great runs when you’re on the ball.”<\/p>\n

Giggs is likely to be involved again on Boxing Day when Manchester United face Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
