Edwin van der Sar (born 29 October 1970 in Voorhout) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English Premier League club Manchester United. He is the Netherlands national team's most capped player of all-time. He is one of the few footballers to have won the Champions League with two different teams, having won it with...

They've both got strikers on good form -- Sergio Aguero scored a lot of goals, Wayne Rooney scored a lot of goals
I think we did what we had to do in the summer, we brought in a goalkeeper to replace Edwin van der Sar. We brought Ashley Young in because he’s a player who can play in several positions and has a little bit of experience in terms of his time at Aston Villa.
He will be right up for it. He's had challenges over the last 26 years against various teams and he beat them, he got down to them and he diminished them and he's going to do the same with City
It was 0-0, we had a fairly inexperienced team and Lee Cattermole gave away a penalty — for handball not for a tackle. Ruud van Nistelrooy took it and I managed to save it. I exchanged jerseys with Edwin van der Sar at full time, another hero of mine.
I saw him coming up during my time at United and I was very impressed ... I know he's not really a local boy, but he did come through the youth set-up. He seems to have grown bigger and got stronger. De Gea hasn't filled out yet and I know that they're working towards beefing him up through weight train...
We just had to hang in there. But then there's injuries we've had. We've not had the best luck this season - we've had injuries to key players such as (Nemanja) Vidic and (Darren) Fletcher. There was also the experience we've lost. Scholesy for half the season, Edwin van der Sar, John O'Shea, Wes Brown....
They've been playing without me all season and Nemanja got injured quite early on so they will be OK ... Along the way the younger players have stepped up their performances while the return of Paul Scholes was one of the turning points.
It would be huge (winning the title) when you look at the spending power Manchester City have, the injuries we've had, the experience we've lost — Scholesy (Paul Scholes) for half the season, Edwin van der Sar, John O'Shea, Wes Brown ... Then the challenge we faced bringing in a new goalkeeper — David d...
United went from a 40-year-old to a 21-year-old so I think it's only normal that De Gea made a couple of wrong judgments and had some adjustments to make because it's a different, more physical league with more corners
It (the title) would be huge. When you look at the spending power Manchester City have, the injuries we've had, the experience we've lost - Scholesy (Paul Scholes) for half the season, Edwin van der Sar, John O'Shea, Wes Brown.

I think that Buffon is still the best goalkeeper in the world, and after him, during his career it was Edwin van der Sar. I think he can play until he is 40, though of course it depends on his form. Physically though he is in great shape.
People need to start giving him a little bit more credit. It’s not easy being 21 years old with an 18m pound price tag on your head, making a mistake or two and trying to replace Edwin van der Sar.
