Former Netherlands and Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has been taken out of intensive care.

The 52-year-old was taken into hospital in Split earlier this month after suffering bleeding around the brain whilst on holiday before he moved to a hospital back in his homeland.

Although Van der Sar has been taken out of the intensive care unit, he will remain in hospital but hopes to be released next week.

In a post on Twitter, he said: "First of all, we want to thank everyone for all the great and supportive messages.
