Van der Sar relishing Ed-ing East

EDWIN VAN DER SAR is relishing Manchester United’s latest foray into Eastern Europe.

While Alex Ferguson has taken every precaution ahead of tonight’s Champions League encounter with Dynamo Kiev, getting his team to fly out to the Ukraine a day earlier than usual and taking a dietician and two chefs with his party to ensure there are no unexpected mishaps ahead of the Group F encounter, Van der Sar cannot wait.

A veteran of well over 100 caps for Holland and 65 Champions League appearances, Van der Sar has played in most of what would be regarded as the more inhospitable European countries.
