Fergie hoping Van der Sar will stay
Manchester United, 12:55, February 8, 2010 ,
Manchester United are set to offer goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar a new one-year contract to extend his stay for at least another season.
The 39-year-old, whose rolling contract is up in the summer, is reportedly thinking of quitting the game at the end of the campaign.
Van der Sar's season has been severely disrupted by injury while he was also granted time off because his wife was ill.
Despite making just 13 appearances in all competitions for the Reds, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to keep the Dutchman for at least another year and plans to offer him a new, lucrative deal to ensure he remains at Old Trafford until 2011.
