Man Utd icon Van der Sar admitted to intensive care with ‘bleeding round mind’

“I am very grateful for the people I have met and worked with during my second career at Ajax, and what we have achieved and been through together. I feel the need to take some distance, to get some rest, and to do other things.

“It doesn’t really feel good to take choices about the way forward for this excellent membership within the coming interval. That is why I’ve determined to resign.”

Van der Sar spent the most effective a part of a decade as a participant at Ajax between 1990 and 1999. He had a spell at Juventus earlier than shifting to England to signal for Fulham in 2001.

He is most remembered for his time at United, the place he gained 4 Premier League titles, three League Cups and Champions League in 2008. He made 266 appearances for the Red Devils and gained 130 caps for the Netherlands.
