Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to return to the keeper he first tried to sign when Peter Schmeichel quit Old Trafford six years ago, only to be foiled by Juventus. This weekend, intermediaries have been setting up a £2m deal for Van der Sar, who only signed a contract extension with Fulham in January. His ambitions, however, are now firmly focused on United. The Dutchman was on his way to Italy in 1999, just weeks after Schmeichel's farewell party, when he was ambushed by Ferguson in the departure lounge at Amsterdam airport. He confirmed: "When he phoned me I really wanted to join United. But it was impossible at the time because I had already committed myself to Juventus." Peter Fitton, Mail on Sunday Van man for Man U Manchester United's search for a goalkeeper is set to end with the signing of Fulham's Edwin Van der Sar. Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to go for the experienced Dutch international, whose contract is running out at Fulham. A £2m deal for Van der Sar, 34, is close to being agreed. United have considered and been linked with a host of keepers, including Spurs' Paul Robinson and Shay Given of Newcastle. But Van der Sar, who has always performed well against United, has emerged as the best option. At 6ft 6ins, he has the height Ferguson is seeking, in addition to experience and proven ability at the highest level. His arrival will give Tim Howard, in whom United still have great hopes, more time to develop. Paul Hetherington, Daily Star Oldie Brad KO's Fergie Alex Ferguson has failed to snap up Blackburn keeper Brad Friedel - and has turned to £5m Andreas Isaksson. The Manchester United boss tried to lure veteran Friedel on a short-term deal after seeking advice from Peter Schmeichel. United's interest seriously tempted Friedel, 34, but he feared his body would not be able to cope with the rigours of Champions League football plus Premiership and FA Cup campaigns. Rennes are desperate to keep Isaksson, but Ferguson has not given up. Isaksson, 24, said: "It would be a dream come true to play for United. I wouldn't hesitate for a second." Staff reporter, News of the World Barcelona line up deals for Ferdinand and Cole Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole are banking on a move to Barcelona to escape their troubles at Manchester United and Arsenal. Pini Zahavi, Ferdinand's agent, is understood to be at the centre of negotiating a move for the pair to the Nou Camp. Ferdinand is stalling on a new £100,000-a-week deal at United, while Cole has vowed to snub Arsenal's offer of a new contract. Rob Draper, Mail on Sunday Barca battling over Rio and Ruud Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard and president Joan Laporta are caught in a battle of wills over Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Laporta, the man who came to power with the promise of signing David Beckham only to lose out to Real Madrid, now has Ferdinand in his sights. But Rijkaard isn't keen on the Old Trafford defender and has other targets including Ferdinand's team-mate Van Nistelrooy. Staff reporter, Daily Star Buffon: Utd are just not big enough Italian goalkeeper Gigi Buffon has delivered a damning verdict on Manchester United, dismissing suggestions that he will make a mega-money move to Old Trafford because they are no longer considered one of the world's top clubs. £35m-rated Buffon put the boot in further when he said: "I would not even consider a move to Manchester United. They are not the club they once were. I am only interested in a club that is serious about winning the Champions League, so there is no possibility of me moving to Manchester." Simon Mullock, Sunday Mirror Fergie in Mr Bean plea Sir Alex Ferguson has turned to Mr Bean in his attempt to beat an FA disrepute charge. The Manchester United manager is being hauled in front of the FA after he described as "sinister" his team's inability to be awarded penalty kicks in a match against Newcastle at Old Trafford. Graham Bean, the former FA Compliance Officer, has already won several cases when representing managers at FA disciplinary hearings and is now ready to heap further embarrassment on his former employers. Simon Mullock, Sunday Mirror Fans fight panics Vodafone Vodafone - one of Manchester United's main sponsors - have expressed serious concerns over the fans' backlash to Malcolm Glazer's controversial debt-laden £800m takeover. Vodafone are anxious to hold urgent talks with the Glazers in the knowledge that their day-to-day business has been hit by the adverse publicity which is being orchestrated by the anti-Glazer pressure groups involving disillusioned United supporters. A Vodafone source said: "What has happened at Manchester United has without doubt caused damage to us. Obviously the longer it goes on then it is not good news for our sales. You enter sport sponsorship to enhance your image not to harm it." John Richardson, Daily Star Rooney will win you the World Cup Gerard Houllier is heading home to France - but the man who once helped his country to World Cup success is convinced Wayne Rooney will lead England to football's ultimate prize next summer. Former Liverpool manager Houllier, unveiled as the new coach of Ligue One champions Lyon during the week, believes Manchester United striker Rooney has the talent to become the English version of Pele, Maradona, Zidane and Ronaldo at Germany 2006. And he said: "I think next summer in Germany will present England with their best chance of winning the World Cup since they last did it in 1966. This time, England have a player who can strike fear into teams in the way that Ronaldinho and Ronaldo do for Brazil. His name is Wayne Rooney - and I think next summer's finals could be remembered as Rooney's World Cup. This boy is very, very special. He is one of those rare talents capable of rising above even world-class players." Simon Mullock, Sunday Mirror       맨 위에 ㅡㅡ
