EDWIN GETS ANOTHER YEAR

Last updated : 16 July 2006 By Ed

Edwin van der Sar has been offered an extra year on his contract according to Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Edwin has one more year left on his contract and we are looking to give him another one," said Ferguson.

"We have to pay attention to his age and it depends on how he does next season but he was a terrific addition to our squad last year. His form was superb."

Talking about United target Tomasz Kuszczak Fergie seemed quite positive:

"We need some experienced cover," said Ferguson.

"The fact Tomasz has played a full season in the Premiership gives him greater all round experience at this moment in time.

"But we are trying to consolidate our goalkeeping options and by next season I think we will be in a stronger position than at any time since the Peter Schmeichel era."
