Ryan Giggs says he is still to decide about his Manchester United future despite making what appeared to be a farewell appearance in a 3-1 win over Hull City.

Giggs, the club's interim manager, sent himself on as a 70th-minute substitute in Tuesday's Premier League game at Old Trafford, which was United's last home fixture of the campaign.

The 40-year-old midfielder's contract is scheduled to expire at the end of the season.

Speaking to journalists afterwards, he explained that he had not reached a decision about whether to hang up his boots after a 23-year United career in which he has made a record 963 appearances for the club.

"I've not decided yet," he said. "Nothing has changed. I'll wait until the season has finished and then take a holiday and think about it in the next couple of weeks."
