Ajax chief Edwin van der Sar has hinted he'd be open to a return to Manchester United.

The Ajax chief executive officer has previously been linked with a return to United, who are keen on hiring a very first director of football.

He told Planet Futbol: "Besides my family, my wife and kids and everything I have two loves in my life. That's Ajax, who gave me the opportunity to develop, they scouted me, they gave me the chance to shine in the world of football.

"And the last club of my career, also gave me a lot of attention, recognition and everything, developed at a later stage. And of course I'd be interested, interested in a position. But I need to learn a little more here [at Ajax], develop myself further and of course eventually let's see what the future brings.

"United is a fantastic club, there's a great following all over the world. Everybody wants to play for them and eventually, work for them."
