**SPOILERS IN ARTICLE**
Scene set for Giggsy
Quote:
The discovery of a statistical error in Sir Bobby Charlton's appearance record has given Ryan Giggs the chance to become United's record appearance-maker this season, if he features in the Reds' remaining two games.
Sir Bobby has held the club record of 759 appearances since ending his United career in 1973, but that tally included an outing against Bolton Wanderers in January 1962 - a match in which he actually played no part.
Following his substitute appearance against West Ham on Saturday, Giggs can now equal Charlton's record against Wigan next weekend, and overtake it against Chelsea in the Champions League final.
While the veteran winger is proud of the impending achievement, he prefers to focus on ensuring a successful end to United's season rather than dwell on the monumental landmark.
"I'm more concentrating on winning the Premier League next weekend, and after that winning the Champions League," he told MUTV.
"Personal records really don't mean a lot to me while I'm still playing. They're things that I'll look upon when I'm finished and obviously be proud of doing. At the moment I'm just concentrating and thinking about winning trophies."

That would be the perfect time to break the record imo. I dont think anybody will be able to break that record again. Such an immense achievement.
