You would think at 37, he would be showing signs of waning. I don&#8217;t see any evidence of that. We look after him in terms of rest before games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He won&#8217;t be playing on Sunday. He maybe will play next Wednesday. That is the way we have to deal with him now. When he gets that freshness, he doesn&#8217;t show any sign of fatiguing at all. He is an amazing man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson also went on to hail his side&#8217;s resilience in recent weeks, and also the winning mentality that has seen them lie at the top of the Premier League table with four games to play and a lead of six points.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This team doesn&#8217;t understand the word defeat. It&#8217;s determined, gritty and very professional, and it&#8217;s produced some great moments,&#8221; Ferguson continued.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It might not have the &#8216;Ronaldo&#8217; factor, but it&#8217;s not as if we\u2019ve been devoid of that &#8216;fantasy&#8217;. Some of the football we\u2019ve seen from the players this season has been terrific.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite being within touching distance of a record 19th league title, the 69-year-old insists his side are focusing on the immediate challenge ahead.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;I don\u2019t think it\u2019s on our minds at the moment. If we achieve it, it\u2019ll be great to reflect on, but at the moment we know we\u2019ve got some hard games left. We look forward to the challenge, though.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s important to keep momentum going by winning games. That\u2019s vital. Draws don\u2019t come into it now, it\u2019s all about wins. We\u2019ve got a big few games coming up and we need to win them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/3b4e10aebeacon.dll_175.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See the article here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/04\/29\/2463208\/manchester-united-boss-sir-alex-ferguson-to-rest-ryan-giggs\" title=\"Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to rest Ryan Giggs for Arsenal clash\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to rest Ryan Giggs for Arsenal clash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Andrew Kennedy 29 Apr 2011 08:25:00 Ryan Giggs, Manchester United Related Links Teams Players Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he will rest veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs for Sunday\u2019s game away at Arsenal .
