Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is set to return from injury in Tuesday night's reserves match away to Everton.

Van der Sar, 38, has missed the start of United's Barclays Premier League campaign after breaking two bones in his left hand in a match against Bayern Munich during the Audi Cup.

Ben Foster has deputised for the Dutchman in United's Premier League fixtures, but it was confirmed on www.manutd.com this lunchtime that Van der Sar will start tonight's match at the Stobart Stadium in Widnes.

Keeping his hand in: Edwin van der Sar made his Manchester United comeback against Everton reserves

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar came through an uneventful 90 minutes in the club's reserve-team win over Everton on Tuesday night.

The 38-year-old Dutchman, who has been out of action since breaking his hand during United's pre-season match with Bayern Munich, was on the pitch for the entirety of the 1-0 win.

Van der Sar showed no discomfort during the game, comfortably keeping a clean sheet while Italian striker Federico Macheda scored the decisive goal at the other end.
