Edwin van der Sar has given his thoughts on Manchester United’s current goalkeeping situation, and feels the high quality in our ranks will help maintain standards this season.

Our former no.1, who played 266 times for the Reds, knows a thing or two about being a top stopper. During his six years at Old Trafford, the Dutchman helped the club to win 10 trophies, including four Premier League titles and, in an unforgettable 2008 final in Moscow, the UEFA Champions League.

Edwin also understands the need for competition between the sticks, and feels a bit of friendly rivalry between David De Gea, Dean Henderson, Sergio Romero and Lee Grant will benefit the team in the months to come.

“That’s what it’s always been about,” said van der Sar on competition for places, when asked about it during Wednesday’s episode of MUTV Group Chat.
