Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has rubbished talk he has decided to retire at the end of the season.

Goalkeeper yet to make a decision on his future

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has rubbished talk he has decided to retire at the end of the season. United goalkeeping coach Eric Steele indicated earlier this week that he expected the veteran Dutchman to hang up his gloves at the end of the current campaign. However, 39-year-old van der Sar has moved quickly to dismiss the suggestions and insists he has yet to make a decision on his future. "That's complete nonsense. I do not know where this story comes from but it is nonsense," van der Sar told www.sport-promotion.nl. "I don't yet know whether I will stop or continue after this season. Only in the course of this season will I think about it. "Then I will decide and not before. For now I keep my focus on United."
