Now van der Saar has agreed to come back for the qualifiers against Iceland and Norway.

Utrecht goalkeeper Michael Vorm has also been called up with Henk Timmer of Feyenoord also a doubt – meaning van der Sar is likely to play and add to his 128 cap tally.

Do you think Edwin call up will effect his performance with Man United?

The first threat came from Darren Fletcher who could not score to Dimitar Berbatov’s sublime pass, United gained in control as the game went on.

Then, Wes Brown was at the centre of controversy when United took the lead just after the half hour.

Berbatov had a chance to score after just six minutes when Cristiano Ronaldo half-blocked Zaza’s clearance but the Bulgarian could not bend his body quickly enough to turn the ball into an empty net.
