Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that Ryan Giggs could feature against the German giants, Schalke' 04, in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford but the 37-year-old will not take part at Emirates.
“He won't be playing on Sunday. He maybe will play next Wednesday. That is the way we have to deal with him now. When he gets that freshness, he doesn't show any sign of fatiguing at all. He is an amazing man”.
The 37-year-old has been enjoying top form in recent weeks and rejuvenated Giggs has proved very crucial in Manchester United’s chase for Barclays Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
The Welshman was the stand out performer in Manchester United win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League which was also United’s first win at West London since 2002.

Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Ryan Giggs return to top form and claimed that the Welshman has played huge part at Manchester United in the current season.
Sir Alex Ferguson told the reporters, “It is a strange thing because Ryan's peak seems to have lasted so long now. You would think at 37, he would be showing signs of waning. I don't see any evidence of that. We look after him in terms of rest before games”.
Ryan Giggs, who is considered as the most decorated player of the English football, has already featured in 35 matches with four goals to his name in the ongoing season.
The Welshman is widely expected to start against Schalke as Manchester United will look to defend their two goal lead from the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.
