Man United 'want club legend Edwin van der Sar as their director of football and spoke to the Ajax chief LAST WEEK' as they look to build on his success at the Dutch side... after luring Erik ten Hag, Antony and Lisandro Martinez

Manchester United are lining up legendary goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar as their next director of football - and already made an approach for the Ajax chief last week - according to reports from Holland.

The Red Devils have started a new chapter this season featuring plenty of talent from the Dutch club - having already plucked manager Erik ten Hag, winger Antony and centre-back Lisandro Martinez.

And now they want their club legend Van der Sar - who has been integral to Ajax's recent success as their CEO - to guide them into the future, as reported by Dutch outlet Voetbal Primeur.
