United winger Ryan Giggs has been awarded an OBE for services to football in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
Last season, the 33-year-old won a record ninth league title and became only the second player in United's history to pass the 700 appearance benchmark.
The first, Sir Bobby Charlton - himself a former recipient of the honour before receiving a knighthood - told ManUtd.com of his delight at Giggs' recognition.
"I couldn't have been more pleased if he was a close relative," he said. "Ryan is a fantastic member of Manchester United and the ultimate professional.
"Added to that his marvellous skills and his services to football make him a pleasure to watch. If only he'd have played for England!"
Ryan recently retired from international football after amassing 64 caps over 16 years for Wales.
The honour makes Giggs an Officer of the British Empire, a British order of chivalry. Other United players to receive the honour include Bryan Robson and David Beckham.
Everybody at Manchester United would like to offer Ryan their congratulations

OBE honour for Giggs
Ryan Giggs has collected an OBE from the Queen for services to football on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old Reds winger collected the award at Buckingham Palace.
Giggs, who was rested for United's dead-rubber Champions League Group F clash with AS Roma, was given the day off to attend the ceremony.
"It's a very proud day for me and my family," he said.
Giggs has played 736 times for United and scored his 100th league goal for the Reds against Derby County on Saturday.
He has won nine Premier League titles - more than any other player in English league history.
Giggs says that Sir Alex Ferguson had given him some prior advice.
"He has been down a couple of times before and just said enjoy it.
"I'm lucky to play for such a great club for such a long time and to have had a successful career."
