Edwin van der Sar : "I have the hunger to win again"

"I have the hunger to win again" 

Edwin van der Sar has vowed to deliver another Champions League title to the Man United fans before retiring.

The 38-year-old goalkeeper has not featured this season yet because of a finger injury.

However, the Dutchman refuted claims that he is intending to hang up his gloves at the end of the season.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he said: "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 [Ben] Foster's World Cup dream.

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

He also took time out to pay tribute to the man who has brought so much glory to Old Trafford in his time at the club, Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Alex Ferguson is the man who guarantees continuity at this club. He has built an empire and a group of loyal and trustworthy people around him and the team," said the goalkeeper.

"He does not need to be at the training ground every day. He does not even have to try and influence me to sign again.

"As a player you know what you have got at United because of all the staff around Fergie. They are all great people. The trick is that as a player here, you know you are employed by a multi-million pound football company,
but inside it feels as if you are surrounded by family."

There has been no official date as to when the giant stopper will be back in action.
