Edwin van der Sar Confirms His Interest in Returning to Manchester United as Director of Football

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has admitted that he would like to return to Old Trafford as the club continues it's search for their inaugural Director of Football.

Van der Sar has previously brushed off links with his former club as he continues his work behind the scenes at Ajax, where the United legend is working as their Cheif Executive Officer alongside former Holland teammate Marc Overmars.

Manchester United have been linked with countless names as they look to appoint their first-ever Director of Football, and although van der Sar's role at Ajax doesn't make him a perfect match, the 48-year-old appears to have made a U-turn after admitting he would be interested in returning to Old Trafford in the future.
