Van der Sar is currently recovering with our best wishes from the brain haemorrhage he suffered in the summer, shortly after leaving his role as chief executive of the Dutch giants.
Edwin and Andre were employees of the Amsterdam club between 2015 and 2022 and the Cameroonian has revealed he would use the retired stopper as a sounding board, with the pair even training together occasionally.
Onana has kept in touch with the Champions League winner, speaking to him recently, and is clearly very grateful for the role Edwin has played in his career.
“Of course I had a good relationship with him,” Onana said, in a brand-new episode of TeamViewer Diaries.
