Giggs, 36, is expected to sign a new deal keeping him at Old Trafford until 2011 in the near future but expects to retire before his 67-year-old manager who he claims "still has that desire".
The 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year told the Times: "I think it will be me (retiring first). The manager is as good as ever and will go on for a long time.
"I can still see him as manager of United in five years' time, easily, because as long as he is healthy he will have the desire to carry on.
"He has a great team around him, he has his passions away from the game and can get away with his horse racing. When he comes back to football he is refreshed, and I know he still has that desire." Tweet

Wise up son - better for Fergie to bow out whilst he can walk across the Old Trafford turf with his chest out and shoulders straight
So two more years of Giggsy and five more of Fergie? Yes please!
The Giggs, Fergie love-in is starting to make it sick.
Someone to work alongside him, someone who can see how he operates, someone who knows the club, someone who is passionate about the club, someone who can demand respect, someone who has been a player and has done it at the top level...................I think he is already at the club and is managing the reserve team and doing a pretty good job of it so far.
Good, he'll have a ringside seat as the Blue monster from Manchester (its just up the road) devours all in its path to glory-happy days!!!
I agree with you Baldrick, but he has to gain experience managing another premier club first. He needs two or three years of real pressure and success before he can prove himself capable.
Personally I can’t see SAF staying beyond May11, so look for someone like Blanc to fill the gap.
Baldrick,
Aye. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
