Van der Sar all set for Old Trafford switch

EDWIN Van der Sar looks set to be the next to accept the challenge of becoming Manchester United’s first-choice goalkeeper after a fee was agreed with Fulham.

The 34-year-old Holland international is expected to sign a two-year deal at Old Trafford when he has completed international duty on July 1, subject to a medical.

United boss Alex Ferguson has been looking for a goalkeeper after releasing Roy Carroll and Ricardo, leaving just Tim Howard as a recognised stopper in his squad.
