Van der Sar could carry on

The 38-year-old has been reported to be going to retire at the end of this season.

Van der Sar said: “The manager plans to give Ben more games this season and that’s normal because you have to look to the future.

“But I still want to play as many games as I can.

“As far as making a decision on my future, I’m going to see how the season goes.

“It’s always hard the moment you decide to stop playing.”
