Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has confirmed he will retire at the end of the current season.
The 40-year-old Dutchman's future has been the source of much speculation, with most predicting he would hang up his gloves.
Van der Sar has been considering retirement since his wife Annemarie collapsed with a brain haemorrhage in December 2009.
