Van der Sar loving every minute
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar begins the slow descent to the end of his career on Tuesday insisting motivation is not going to be a problem.
Van der Sar confirmed on Thursday that he would retire at the end of the season, bringing an end to a stellar 20-year career.
"I don't see motivation until the end of the season being a problem at all," he said.
"There was a point last year when it was four degrees and the rain was pouring down. Ben Foster asked me whether I still wanted to do it in such rubbish weather. I said I loved it.
"That is still the case. I had a calf injury just after Christmas and was not able to go outside for 12 days. The only time I went outside was to get from the training building to the car, and then from the car to the house.
"After 12 days I wanted to go outside. That feeling will always be there. I want to train and I want to contribute to a team that deserves to win something."
