Manchester United are close to losing any chance of signing Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar for next season.
The Dutch national team's goalkeeper is set to move to FC Barcelona and join former coach Louis van Gaal. His contract with the Dutch champions ends at the end of this season when he will be a free agent. United are looking for a first choice 'keeper to replace the 35 year old Peter Schmeichel who wants to quit the rigours of the English game in the summer. Mallorca's Argentine international Carlos Roa is now the main £6 million target for the Manchester club.
