Edwin van der Sar has been a colossus player for Manchester United since signing from Fulham five years ago. Sir Alex Ferguson has publicly acknowledged the difficulty in replacing Peter Schmeichel, after the Danish keeper left for Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 1999, and conceded that United should have since the Dutchman then.

Eric Steele believes that the Dutchman will hang up his gloves at the end of the season – but who do you think could replace him?
