Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has admitted that the Red Devils have not been at their best at points this season, but believes it does not matter as the side have won the Premier League.
The Dutchman is retiring at the end of the season and his long experience in football has taught him that it is trophies which matter, not just performances.
"In certain games we didn’t play that well or didn’t get the results we wanted away from home", said Van der Sar to MUTV, reflecting on the fact that United have lost four games this season, and all away from home.
"But when you have won the league, it doesn’t matter how many points you are ahead of the other teams. I think we have proved we are capable of doing a lot of good things on the pitch also."
Van der Sar too can’t wait for Sunday when he can again lift the Premier League title, regardless of the result against Blackpool at Old Trafford.
"The feeling comes when you get the trophy in your hands. To get it in front of 75,000 fans at Old Trafford will be an amazing feeling I think."
