ALEX FERGUSON plans to offer Edwin
van der Sar a role at Old Trafford if he does decide to hang up his
gloves at the end of the season.
Fergie will sit down with Manchester United’s Dutch keeper after
Christmas to discuss keeping him on.
Van der Sar, 40, is set to quit after the current campaign but
boss Fergie is keen to put his wealth of experience to good
use.
It is believed the stopper’s wife Annemarie, who suffered a
brain haemorrhage more than a year ago, would like to move back to
Holland.
United would prefer to hand Van der Sar a coaching role – but
not affecting goalkeeping coach Eric Steele’s position – although a
key scouting and ambassadorial position is likelier.
