Man Utd rejected by ex-star Edwin van der Sar over director of football role who reveals plans to stay at Ajax

Published on October 23, 2022 at 05:36 PM

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Edwin van der Sar has rejected a return to Old Trafford as director of football, saying “I’m not finished”; at Ajax.

The legendary Dutch shot-stopper, 51, spent six years at United before retiring in 2011.

He then returned to Ajax in a behind-the-scenes role, where he still works but as chief executive.

Van der Sar played a part in negotiating the departures of Erik ten Hag, Lisandro Martinez and Antony, all to Man Utd in the summer.

But one move that won’t be taking place anytime soon is a return to Old Trafford for Van der Sar.

Reports suggested United had made contact with the ex-keeper, however, Van der Sar is happy to stay in Amsterdam, declaring “I’m not finished”; at Ajax.

Van der Sar also recently signed a new contract running until 2025.

He told The Times on a move back to United: “It’s never been that close.

“I have a good relationship with the board and I had a fantastic six years in Manchester, but I’m not finished here yet.”

The three summer arrivals from Ajax have made an impact at United.

Ten Hag has taken a no-nonsense approach with stroppy Cristiano Ronaldo.

While Martinez has added stability at the back and Antony has chipped in with some goals in attack.

United are sat fifth in the Premier League, one point off fourth place Chelsea.
