Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time
Let's ditch De Gea and Henderson and put Van der Sar back in goal.
His last season here was arguably his best ever, so if trends continued he's only gotten better. Sign him (back) up.

Been wanting him as our DoF for 2 years now... please Edwin. Save us from this wolf of wallstreet who has no clue about football.
VDS is a CEO, not a DoF. Marc Overmars is the DoF for Ajax.

Forget DOF, more like the actual CEO, running the entire football club. The fans would love it, Ole would love it and the players would love it.

Van Der Sar is living proof you can be both a serial winner and a lovely guy.

Edwin is pure class. I would have him back at the club in whatever capacity he wished! Even between the sticks!

Best VDS vid was after the Moscow clf vs Chavs

microphone thrust under his nose after his penalty save: (paraphrasing) “so how does it feel after.... bla... “
Edwin: “phwoar, feckinell, Jef.....”

What sort of animal writes a letter with everything centred instead of using justify.

Classy person on and off the pitch. Absolutely love some of our old players, can't say the same for many of the current squad.

Deserves its own thread. Can I love this man anymore than I already do? Still saving our arses many years down the line. Need to be our DoF at some point. No brainer. Intelligence and class.

If this doesnt deserve its own thread than what else? This kind of stuff proves football is not all about mercenary. I would like this to be tagged for few days so this can stay on the main page.

Well done VDS. Thank you for everything you did for us.

it doesnt feel like 12 years ago when he was jumping for joy after the CL final shootout
Some keeper for United.

Always liked his approach.

United need to make him CEO - never mind DOF

What a great guy and player he was for us. Shame we didn't sign him when Fegrie initially wanted to. Instead we ended up with the incompetent Fabian Barthez then ended up with Tim Howard who couldn't keep a clean sheet to save his life.

It would be an insult for him to be a DOF. He is the CEO of Ajax and he should only come as the CEO of United.

He would be a fantastic DOF for us maybe we can ask him next year but hes probably settled in Holland but as the saying goes you get nothing if you dont try

That is like saying you will only accept being the managing director of Apple because you are currently md of your own business selling tea cosy's on eBay.

The hyperbole is probably quite insulting to Ajax but basically the job title doesn't always translate equally across companies who are drastically different sizes.

Do you have any good players for us? United and Feyenoord can certainly share a same relationship too, and you can get van Persie back as your CEO ;)
Good players.. Have you watched any Feyenoord games in the last 18 years? :lol:
