Van der Sar Might be a Little Suprised By This

United fans would have scoffed at this notion during the early part of the season, but some fairly high profile gaffes by Edwin van der Sar might have cost him his starting spot to returning loanee Ben Foster.

Thankfully EVDS’s dodgy late season moments didn’t have any major catastrophic consequences to the Premiership race — but it was a bit too close for comfort, and he really looked out of sorts towards the end of the season. Which came as a bit of a surprise, after a very solid United career so far.

There’s little doubt that Ben Foster excelled while at Watford, but let’s be a tad realistic — it was Watford. Being the keeper of Manchester United is an entirely different kettle of fish, that has proved too much for plenty of talented players in the past. Meanwhile, in the bastion of transfer rumor, The Sun — we’re after Hearts keeper Craig Gordon!
