Giggs signed another one-year contract extension with the club in March which means he is set to become the third outfield player to play in the Premier League in their 40s, following Teddy Sheringham at West Ham and Gordon Strachan at Coventry.It is not just physical, it is mental, having the drive and desire to do it every day.The United number 11 made his 28th appearance for United this season against Villa and played the full 90 minutes.He is a legend. It is a throwaway comment too often. But he is the legend really. It is a pleasure to play with him and work with him every day.Team-mate Michael Carrick, who is on the PFA shortlist for the Player of the Year title, said for Giggs to still be playing at the highest level was "sensational.That is beautiful. I like the people that fight for their colours and don't change clubs] every two months to make business," said the former France international.I keep talking about him but what else is there left to say?" said Carrick, who partnered the 39-year-old in central midfield on Monday.The 39-year-old won his 13th league title with the club on Monday following the 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford.It is sensational that he is still able to do that after all this time.
