"At my stage of life, I think that the next couple of years
will be the best of my career. If I have another three or
four years left in me, I would like to retire at the top
with Manchester United.
"I'm looking forward to adding to the medals I have already
won with the club. And as far as I'm concerned, I still have
a lot to achieve in football and that includes representing
Wales in a major championship.'
"After another four years, I would have thought it would be
difficult for me to reproduce the form that I am capable of.
It is only then I would start thinking about my future off
the field.
"I certainly do not want to get to 40 and start thinking I
quit too early. By the same token, you do not want to be
struggling round the pitch at 37."
