Ryan Giggs says Manchester United are about to enter the toughest phase of their season as they compete for silverware on four fronts. Alex Ferguson's men host relegation battlers Blackburn on Saturday and Giggs says he sees it as the start of a difficult end to the season. "It's the run-in now so they are all tough games, teams are fighting, whether it's for survival, for Europe or the Champions League, so every team has got something at stake." He added: "Blackburn is a local derby. It's been a tough game in the past and our attitude will need to be right." Giggs, along with Gary Neville, has signed a one-year extension to his contract, which should keep the winger at Old Trafford until 2010. The Welshman said he was delighted to continue his career at United. "I'm enjoying my football more than ever so to sign for another year was great for me," he said. "You know I can just relax and enjoy my football now and not worry about it."
