Ryan Giggs celebrated his 40th birthday on Friday and is in Manchester United’s provisional squad to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday (December 1st).
Teddy Sheringham and Gordon Strachan are the only other outfield players to have appeared in the EPL after reaching the milestone.
Since breaking into the United first team in 1990, Giggs has helped the ‘Red Devils’ win the league 13 times and also played a part in two Champions League titles and four FA Cup successes.
United manager David Moyes told the media on Friday that Giggs topped the list of the English Premier League’s top players “because of his longevity, the time he’s played for one club. The amount of games what he’s played, done in Europe, what he’s done in the Premier League.”
Currently sixth in the standings, United will be hoping to continue their climb up the table when they take on Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
‘Spurs’ manager Andre Villas-Boas is under immense pressure, following his side’s 6-0 thrashing at United’s local rivals Manchester City last Sunday (November 24th).
However, there will be no sympathy for the Portuguese from Moyes, who said on Friday: “We’ll go down there and try and win the game, which we always would do.”
