Starlets can become legends
Edwin van der Sar claims United's title-winning starlets have the
ability to achieve legendary status at Old Trafford providing they
push on from here.
The Dutch stopper is full of praise for his team-mates after
beating Chelsea over the finishing line to seal United's ninth
Premiership title under Sir Alex Ferguson.
But he is urging them to kick on and build on this season's
achievements in the coming years.
"You do not become a legend overnight - you have to win things over
a long period," insists van der Sar. "The players have shown their
ability this season. Every game has been important for us and weve
shown we have been up for every one.
"Every player selected for Saturday or Tuesday or Wednesday has had
to perform and we have not had to carry any one.
"Chelsea were so well ahead in the previous seasons. But this
season, we have been playing well enough to cope with anything that
has been put in our way.
"The squad is well positioned to achieve something special," adds
the 36-year-old. "It takes a long time to work towards something
like this but now the team must go on.
"It is not just about winning something once but two or three times
and that is the challenge."
