Edwin van der Sar to retire at end of season, says United coach • Goalkeeping coach Eric Steele says keeper has made mind up • Former Holland international turns 40 later this month Edwin Van der Sar Edwin Van der Sar is keen to win the FA Cup with Manchester United before he retires. Photograph: Andrew Yates/AFP/Getty Images Edwin van der Sar is ready to retire at the end of the season, according to Manchester United's goalkeeping coach Eric Steele. The former Holland international is 40 later this month and Steele said he had intimated he was ready to bow out, although he is keen to pick up the only domestic medal missing from his collection - the FA Cup - before he does. "I think Ed has made his mind up and said this is his last year," Steele told the Manchester Evening News. "He is a good pro and a sensible and highly intelligent guy who will know when the time is right. I don't think he will need myself or the manager to tell him that time has come. He will know. "But if he gets to Christmas and he thinks it is right to go on and the manager (Sir Alex Ferguson) thinks it is right we will make a decision. It is down to how he feels and performs. If he doesn't perform the manager will make the decision. Edwin will as well." Steele said Van der Sar, who is a Champions League, Premier League and Carling Cup winner with United, was keen to get his hands on the oldest knockout trophy in club football. "He hasn't won it and that is a big target for him," added Steele. "When we rotate our goalkeepers I think you will see Mr Van der Sar knocking on the door and asking the boss to play in the FA Cup." |
