Edwin van der Sar has already given green light to his Man Utd return amid approach

Edwin van der Sar appears to be open to returning to Manchester United following reports that Erik ten Hag has made a move to bring the former goalkeeper back to Old Trafford.

Having spent the past six years as CEO of Ajax, Van der Sar shares a personal and working relationship with Ten Hag and it emerged on Friday that the Red Devils boss wants to reunite with his ex-colleague. United are in the process of restructuring their sporting hierarchy, with John Murtough currently acting as Football Director.

And it seems that Old Trafford still has room for another high-profile figure after Voetbal Primeur reported that Ten Hag recently reached out to Van der Sar to discuss the possibility of him swapping Amsterdam for Manchester - just as he did in May to become the club's new manager.
