Manchester United icon Ryan Giggs says Sir Alex Ferguson is a big reason why he is still playing.
Giggs is bidding to win a record 12th league title this season to go alongside his two European Cups and the countless other trophies on his mantle piece.
All of this has been achieved under Ferguson. And although their relationship has changed down the years, the mutual respect is obvious.
"It is good to hear praise from the manager," said Giggs. "He would be the first one to tell me if I was not playing well or my form wasn't good.
"We talk a lot more and we are a lot more honest with each other.
"He tells me when I am not going to play and gives me a little bit more notice now.
"It is a great relationship and one that has been a big part of why I am still playing."
