Ryan Giggs - Born and Red Legend in the making

The title says it all really. As Ryan Giggs announces his retirement from playing, 

here is my brief  blog on the legend himself.

A tribute to one of the most decorated players in Manchester United’s history,  A footballing legend. 

When Ryan Giggs burst onto the scene in 1990 few would have thought he’d continue till he is 40! Running down the wing,gliding in and out scoring or assisting fellow team mates was a great sight to see. An inspiration to the footballing world young and old.

24 Years

963 Games

168 Goals

13 PL Titles

2 UCL

4 FA Cups

4 League Cups
Consecutively scoring in every Premier League season since it began bar last season.

Broke many records along the way, as years went by his experienced was made useful by him often playing in a central midfield role which had flourished exceptionally well.  Some of his passes were just pure matching winning brilliance, Fedrico Macheda v Aston Villa 2009 and Michael Owen (Manchester Derby ) 2009 to just name a few.

Taking up Yoga was a great idea for Ryan Giggs as he stayed healthy and produced the goods whenever he was picked, not going to be biased and say he didn't have a bad game even the greatest have had bad games, was last of the Class of ‘92 to unfortunately call it a day. Its sad to see such a legend and a favourite of mine retiring but as he takes up that Assistant role to Louis Van Gaal will we see the next “Ryan Giggs”

Wayne Rooney - Hustler or Footballer?

Wayne Rooney signs contract extension worth £300K a week

As the meltdown of the footballing world comes to a halt, here's my view on the contract extenstion.

Many people have said he deserves it many others have said it's ludicrous but one thing for sure Manchester United were desperate to keep Wayne Rooney.

Wayne Rooney does not deserve the new contract in my view due to fact the way he has treated the club over two situations.

In 2010 he questioned the clubs ambitions and ended up signing an improved contract - 3 years later a similar story as he fell out with Sir Alex Ferguson. While Sir Alex retired in came David Moyes a manager Rooney knew since he started off at Everton, Chelsea came knocking in the Summer for Wayne Rooney but Manchester United were reluctant to let him leave.

Those doubts of Wayne Rooney leaving Manchester United came to an end as in February 2014 he signed a new contract extenstion with "extras" in having him being a club ambassador once he retires.

There's also talk of him being the next Manchester United captain once Nemanja Vidic leaves for Inter and rumours have it Wayne Rooney will have a say in future transfer business.

Maybe Sir Alex retiring could have had Wayne Rooney's mind changed and signed the new deal.

I am happy as a Manchester United fan that Wayne Rooney has signed a new contract, but does he really deserve that huge contract and the rest that comes with it?

A great player he maybe, Manchester United do need him but I don't think he deserves it due to the fact he put himself first over the club in the past

I just wonder what will happen if United have another disastrous summer transfer window or go two seasons without Champions League football and another of the big clubs come calling?!

In the end Wayne Rooney and his agent caught Manchester United at a time they just couldn't sell.
