Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs says he is trying to keep quiet
about his impending 40th birthday, for fear of becoming the butt of
changing-room jokes.
Giggs reaches the milestone in November and is set to become only the
fourth outfield player aged over 40 to appear in the Premier League
after Gordon Strachan, Kevin Phillips and former team-mate Teddy
Sheringham.
“Apparently 40 is the new 30, so I am looking forward to it,” Giggs
told the United match-day programme ahead of Saturday’s home game with
West Bromwich Albion.
“I know it is quite daunting for some people, but you just have to
embrace it, not worry too much about it and just enjoy yourself. I’ve
never really put too much stock in my age — to me it is more about how
you feel and I feel pretty good at the moment.
“That said, I might try and keep my birthday a secret from all the lads when it comes round. That might prove tough though.”
