Manchester United have reached agreement with Fulham to sign goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. The Holland international has agreed a two-year contract at Old Trafford and will undergo a medical after returning from international duty. Van der Sar had been linked with a move to United in January but agreed a contract extension with Fulham until summer 2006 instead. United however have been looking for a new keeper after Roy Carroll turned down a new deal and have moved in to sign the 34-year-old. soccernet.espn.go.com/headlinenews?id=335001&cc=5901

Didn't see that coming!
He is a class keeper but getting on in years. But as ya know keepers can pull it out of the bag for ages. I was shocked when Fulham signed him. I really admire him as a keeper.

Been thinking about it.. He could give howard more advice and help bring him through and be the quality keeper we saw signs of in his first season. Plus he has bags of experience at all levels which will help our defence even more. Won't pass judgement until I see him play in the man utd top though.

I'm gutted, he's a quality keeper and they may start winning things again. Chelsea have been pissing me off lately by thinking they're above the rules so as long as they don't win it next year I'm not bothered. I've just realised, I now hate all of the other 19 teams in the league .

i think fergie wants tim howard to succed, so i think Van Der Sar will be there for a couple of years before howard takes over and we dominate british football for another decade. ;D

he'll start, but he's only there to teach howard the finer points of keeping, hes gone after this season.

In winter, MU signed one young german keeper, 17 years old from Koln, reported to be the most talanted young keeper in Europe. Maybe, he'll be a substitution for Van Der Sar. Any Edwin's photos in new kit?
