Man Utd keeper has sights set on being a tourist!

Edwin van der Sar has told skysports.com no-one at Manchester United is getting carried away with a possible five trophy haul at the end of the season. "No-one is talking about winning everything," the veteran Dutch keeper told skysports.com.

"We are just talking about every game as it comes and hope for the best.

"The next game is always the most important and then at the end of the season hopefully we will have taken as many trophies as possible. We have to just focus on trying to be successful."

Van der Sar has signed, what will probably be his last, contract extension which will keep him at Old Trafford until 2010.

The 38-year-old admitting he needs some time away from the game before deciding whether or not to head into coaching or management.

"I have no plans to do that straight away, I plan to take a break," he said.

"I want to be able to spend time with my family and friends. I have spent many years travelling around staying in hotels, but not seeing anywhere.

"I want to be able to relax before I decide what to do next. I want to become a tourist!"
