London, Nov.29 (ANI): Star striker Wayne Rooney reckons Manchester United should erect a bronze statue to celebrate the amazing career of birthday boy Ryan Giggs.
The United ace says it would be a fitting tribute to the Welsh star, who began his Old Trafford career as a 17 year old and turned 38 today.
Rooney purred: "If there's one player over the last 20 to 25 years who deserves a statue outside Old Trafford, it's Ryan Giggs.
"Because what Giggsy has done here is absolutely incredible," The Sun quoted Rooney, as saying.
He added: "He made his debut as a 17 year old and so to still be playing at the top level 21 years later is a magnificent achievement. He has been fantastic for this football club and to still be performing so well at his age is phenomenal. Giggsy's a wonderful example around the club too, the way he trains, the way he prepares and to see him working so hard on his game every day explains why he is so special."
Giggs made his debut on March 2 1991 and has now made a record 887 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 161 goals.
He surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton's old United appearance record of 758 the day United lifted their third European Cup in Moscow in 2008.
There are currently two statues outside the Theatre of Dreams. (ANI)
