Last updated : 06 June 2005 By Editor
United will today sign goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar from Fulham for an undisclosed fee. The deal was made public yesterday and it will be confirmed after he has passed a medical. He is expected to be a United player from 1 July. His agent told Skysports.com "The deal is done in principle,"
"Edwin is very happy, it is an honour for him to play for a club like United."
The fee is rumoured to be between £1.5-3 million for the 34 year old.
Holland manager Marco Van Basten regards the Dutchman highly. He recently said
"He is in the form of his life,"
"Edwin is a goalkeeper with class and vast experience - exactly what you need with young players in the team."
