Van der Sar tight-lipped over future

14 January 2008
The 37-year-old ended his Holland career after Euro 2008 but vowed to continue playing for the Old Trafford club at least until the end of the season.
And he has not yet ruled out going on beyond 2009, telling Voetbal International: "I must be able to do then what I can do now. If everyone's satisfied, okay. But if you are confronted with injuries and you miss long periods, then you look at it differently."
The former Ajax custodian confirmed he had no intention of going back on his decision to bow out of international football, despite some impressive performances in Euro 2008.
"When things went so well in the group phase, I was told by the guys that I should reconsider my decision, that I should go on," he said.
"After the games with Italy and France I thought about it for a short while. But after we were put out of Euro 2008 by Russia I immediately thought: this is it, it has been good and that's enough."
