Edwin signs new United deal
-
DUTCH ace Edwin van der Sar has agreed a new one-year deal at Manchester United.
The veteran keeper has signed up until 2008 after boss Sir Alex Ferguson insisted he had at least two years left at the top.
Van der Sar, 36, joined from Fulham 18 months ago and has impressed during his time at Old Trafford.
Sir Alex said: "Our approach with players in their 30s is to give them one-year contracts — that's what we did with Denis Irwin.
"He signed one-year deals before he eventually left when he was 36. There's nothing wrong with that and we've given Edwin another one-year contract.
"Edwin's fit, he's lean, he's hungry and he can play for another two years, easy. He's probably got a new lease of life since coming to United.
"He did well at Fulham, having been at Juventus previously. But coming to us has given him an extra spur that a lot of goalkeepers get at that age.
"He's done really well for us and he's good in the dressing room, too.
"He's not a terribly demonstrative person — he's not like Peter Schmeichel for instance.
"But what he says has got an authority about it because he's been there and that experience and personality help." -
well done edwin you made the right choice

Yay more of Van Da Sar to come!!

Haha, actually, i'd prefer him to go on for one more year, pass the knowledge and experience to young keepers like Foster den say bye to the game.
Den again, Kuzuzcak is very unstable, Foster is still inexperience and Howard is prone to howler.
Oh well, where's Schmeichel?
Cheers.
