Man United legend is back: Old Trafford hero steps out of retirement

 The Manchester United legend won four Premier League titles, two League Cups, the Champions League
and the FIFA Club World Cup during his time at Old Trafford.
He hung up his boots in 2011 at the age of 41 following United’s Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.
But now he’s set for a shock return.
The Dutchman has agreed to don the gloves at the age of 45 to play one game for his former club VV Noordwijk.
Van der Sar spent five years learning his trade at the amateur outfit, who now play in the Dutch fourth tier.
Noordwijk sent an SOS call to Van der Sar after their regular goalkeeper Mustafa Mare Zine got injured.
“He still thinks warmly of the club and is here regularly,” Noordwijk technical director Peter Vink told Dutch newspaper Voetbal in de Bollenstreek.
“After some deliberation, he agreed to keep goal next Saturday against Jodan Boys.
“We assume that it is basically only for one game. We are thrilled that Edwin wants to help us in this way.”
