The Dutch keeper has committed his future to Old Trafford after
talks with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Van der Sar said: "I would like to keep on playing so I have
decided to sign another contract.
"The club want me to stay and I'm happy here. My fitness is good
and I feel I can carry on playing for United."
Van der Sar is likely to come under threat next season if United
complete their proposed deal for Schalke 04 keeper Manuel
Neuer.
He has already seen off Tomasz Kuszczak and Ben Foster, but
Neuer has been told he would come in for a straight fight with van
der Sar.
The United No1 is back in top form after recovering from injury
and also the shock of his wife suffering a stroke.
Van der Sar added: "It's been a hard time for all the family and
when something like this happens it's a tough situation.
"Luckily I was back in Holland when it happened because I was
injured and it meant that I could be with her in
hospital.
"It's been a difficult period, but I'm happy things are
improving at home."
