Van der Sar played 266 games for the Red Devils between 2005 and 2011 and was part of the squad that won four Premier League titles, one Champions League trophy in 2008 and one FIFA Club World Cup triumph in 2008.

He further said that Owen Hargreaves, who played for Bayern between 1999 and 2001 and then represented the Red Devils between 2007 and 2011, could play for both teams on that day.
