Man Utd keeper Van der Sar: Silverware before records

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is more concerned with silverware than his record cleansheets.

"I'm proud, of course, but what you start the season for is winning prizes and that's probably not going to be decided until the last two games or so," he told the Independent on Sunday.

"It's getting a lot of attention but I've never been someone who wanted to be the centre of attention.

"Sometimes you read a story or the programme notes saying it's going to be 63 minutes (for a record), then in the second half you have a quick look up (at the scoreboard) to see how many minutes are gone.

"But I don't really like it. The main thing is winning the games."
