Man Utd want Van der Sar as sporting director

After having signed Erik ten Hag, Lisandro Martinez and then Antony, Man Utd are trying to sign Edwin van der Sar from Ajax for next season. 

The former Netherlands and Man Utd goalkeeper is currently the Ajax chief executive. In an interview for 'Manchester Evening News', he revealed his current situation: "I've got a good relationship with the Man Utd board and I had six fantastic years in Manchester."

The Dutchman wanted to make clear that this season "hasn't finished yet." He also admitted that he has "never been close" to ending up at Old Trafford again. 

Nevertheless, Man Utd's bigwigs are optimistic and hope to see the legendary goalkeeper lead the club's sporting project.
