Ferguson has been in charge since 1986, and has won the Premier League 11 times, the FA Cup five times, and the Champions League twice. The wily Scottish tactician turns 69 at the end of the year and speculation has grown regarding when he will step down from his post. However, Giggs says Ferguson is as good a manager as he has ever been and thinks he can go on until he is 75. "The manager is as good as ever and will go on for a long time," he told the News of the World. "To be honest I can see him as a manager of United in five years' time, easily, even at 75. "As long as he is healthy, he'll have the desire to carry on. He has a great team around him and he has his passions away from the game, like horse racing, so when he comes back to football he is always refreshed." Giggs, 36, has spent his whole career under the stewardship and guidance of Ferguson, and revealed their relationship has never been better. "Things have changed - he has mellowed, he isn't anywhere near as frightening as he was 20 years ago," the Welshman added. "I have known him since I was 12 years old. "So it has changed from me just being a kid looking up to him, to being an experienced player he talks to - and from whom he actually asks advice about certain players and situations. "It's always been a good relationship, but it has never been better than it is at this moment. "Mind you I am a better player now than I was in my early 20s, I have lost that explosive pace where I could knock the ball past a defender and knew I would beat him. "I have to think about my game more and use the ball a lot better now. "In my head I still think I am about 25 - I don't feel like the old guy in the dressing room. "I can relate to the young players - we're footballers who share a lot of the same interests." On his own career, Giggs remarked: "As far as my own playing days are concerned it's a case of seeing how I feel at the end of each season and whether I am still enjoying it and motivated each day. "I'm in the middle of doing my coaching badges. I want to be prepared for when my playing days are over, but at the moment I have no plans."
