Sir Alex Ferguson feels Edwin van der Sar can play for at least
another two years after admitting the keeper has enjoyed a new
lease of life since joining Manchester United.
Van der Sar is in his second season at Old Trafford, having joined
the club from Fulham back in 2005.
His reliability between the posts ended a difficult period for
United in trying to find a replacement for Peter Schmeichel.
Ferguson is full of praise for Van der Sar's impact at United and
believes the 36-year-old has more seasons left in him.
"He's probably got a new lease of life, coming to United," Ferguson
told Inside United.
"He did well at Fulham having been at Juventus previously, but
coming to us has given him an extra spur that a lot of goalkeepers
get at that age.
"He's fit, he's lean, he's hungry and he can play for another two
years, easy. It all depends on what he wants.
"He's good in the dressing room, too.
"He's not a terribly demonstrative person - he's not like
Schmeichel, for instance - but what he says has got an authority
about it because he's been there and that experience and
personality is helping."
