Veteran Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is set to put pen to paper on a new one-year contract with Manchester United.

The 39-year-old former Ajax, Juventus and Fulham gloveman moved to Old Trafford in the summer of 2005 and has made just over 200 appearances for United in all competitions.

Van der Sar told the News of the World: "I would like to keep on playing so I have decided to sign another contract.

"The club want me to stay and I'm happy here. My fitness is good and I feel I can carry on playing for United."

Having seen his wife taken ill with a suspected brain haemorrhage earlier this season, van der Sar added: "It's been a hard time for all the family and when something like this happens it's a tough situation.

"Luckily I was back in Holland when it happened because I was injured and it meant that I could be with her in hospital.

"It's been a difficult period, but I'm happy things are improving at home."
