Edwin van der Sar is refusing to take a new Manchester United contract for granted. At the start of his club's recent South African tour, Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed he intended to offer the giant Dutchman an extra year when his present deal expires.
But the 35-year-old said speaking in Amsterdam where Manchester is attending the LG Tournament: "I currently have a contract until 2007 - and while I saw some stories about an extension, I have not spoken to anyone about it. All I can do is perform the same way I did last season. If I do that I will be happy, and my manager will be happy as well."
