Giggsy In America?

Manchester United is currently on the US tour to warmup before the EPL season begins.  Veteran midfielder and captain Ryan Giggs was interviewed about his post-United plans.  Giggsy has one year left on his contract (which was extended a year) hinted that he might try MLS in the twilight of his career.

He told USA Today,
""Being in America you have a great lifestyle, good for raising a family.  The play is getting better. I still have a year left with Manchester United. After that maybe. May be I will be too old."

United's tour begins with a match against Celtic in Toronto on Friday night before further tour matches against Philadelphia Union, Kansas City Wizards, the MLS All-Stars and Chivas Guadalajara.
Giggs, who has made 838 appearances for United, scoring 155 goals, knows the team faces some stern tests in the coming weeks.
He said: "MLS has grown and the success of the USA in the World Cup can only have helped football. We want to get our fitness. It is a good opportunity to get our rhythm against good competition."
