Man Utd legend Ryan Giggs wants a stint with David Beckham in Major League Soccer

Manchester United defender Ryan Giggs, who is likely to retire from the Premier League at the end of next season, is considering a short stay in American Major League Soccer with David Beckham.

“Becks is probably the biggest footballer worldwide and he’s still playing for England’s national team. So, it’s hard not to respect the quality of MLS,” The Sun quoted Giggs, as saying. 

“Being in America you have a great lifestyle - good for raising a family - and the play is getting better. I still have a year left with Manchester United. After that maybe I’ll be too old,” he added.

The 36-year-old, who continues to impress for United, said that his desire remains strong despite his career approaching its final stage.

“The older you get the more you appreciate what you’ve got. With each season I’ve come to appreciate it more. And I think it shows in the way you play - you play knowing you may be done soon,” Giggs said.

United is in Chicago at the moment for a pre-season tour of Canada and the United States, which will include a game against the MLS All-Stars.
