Man Utd keeper Van der Sar dismisses retirement talk

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar says he's not ready to retire.

He told the Sunday Mirror: "I don't want to pack it in. At the end of my holiday this summer, I was itching to go back to the training ground.

"I have the hunger to win the Champions League again. It does not matter that I won it in the past.

"The season could not start soon enough for me and it was unfortunate I got injured. After our pre-season tour in Korea, I said something about my future and the next day it was all over the back pages that I wanted to ruin Foster's World Cup dream.

"That was nonsense. Foster got more playing time than ever last season because I was taking rests.

"I think Foster has done well as my replacement. But I still work as hard as all the others at training, whether I'm old enough to be their dad or not."
