Van Der Sar: Congested Calender Will Help Us
-
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar believes that his side's busy fixture list will help the Red Devils build momentum.
Dutch goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar believes the international calender is at fault for interrupting Manchester United's momentum, and believes that a prolonged run - without national duty distractions - will be beneficial if the reigning double champions are to sustain a winning streak.
"I think it will help a lot. We’ve got around five months together now which can only be good for the squad," Van Der Sar told the club's official website.
"Hopefully we can keep everyone fit," he added. "But we know we’ve got a big enough squad to cope with a couple of injuries or suspensions if that happens.
"I want to play in as many games as possible,” he continued. "If the manager decides to give you a rest then you have to stand by that decision. But I feel really good at the moment and playing games is what it’s all about."
