Van der Sar to land new deal at United


Edwin van der Sar last night vowed to stay at Manchester United for another season and assist the development of his long-term replacement, Ben Foster.

Van der Sar is out of contract at the end of the season and celebrates his 37th birthday on Monday.

But the Holland international revealed he hopes to open talks about a one-year extension in December and hinted that his new role may involve some coaching.
He said: "My agent has not heard anything official from the club yet, but I expect to hold talks with the relevant people in December. Last year we extendedmy contract in that month, so that could well happen again.

"I'm very happy here. I'm playing at a very high level every week and with my experience I can maybe help the younger players a lot in the future."

Defender Andrew Taylor has admitted there is still ill-feeling between Middlesbrough and United's Cristiano Ronaldo before tomorrow's trip to Old Trafford.

Ronaldo won a key penalty in an FA Cup-tie between the sides last season and left back Taylor, who will directly face the Portugal winger tomorrow, said: "The incident did leave a bad taste in the mouth."
