Man Utd keeper Van der Sar preparing for final Old Trafford appearance

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is ready for his final game at Old Trafford against Blackpool on Sunday.

The United keeper enjoyed watching the title-clinching draw at Blackburn but feels it will be a special moment when the silverware is handed over at the end of Sunday's clash with Blackpool - his penultimate match in football.

"It feels different if you don't play," he told MUTV. "Still, I have played 33, 34 matches or something, so it is great. The feeling comes more when you get the trophy in your hands. To get it in front of 75,000 fans at Old Trafford, it will be an amazing feeling I think."

The Dutchman concedes the Reds were not always in top form throughout the season but a six-point lead in the table with a game to go tells its own story.

"In certain games we didn't play that well or didn't get the results we wanted away from home," he confessed. "But when you have won the league, it doesn't matter how many points you are ahead of the other teams. I think we have proved we are capable of doing a lot of good things on the pitch also."
