The former Manchester United and Netherlands goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is in intensive care because of bleeding around his brain, Ajax have announced.
Van der Sar, 52, won the Premier League four times at United, as well as the Champions League in 2008, which he also lifted with Ajax. After retirement he returned to Ajax, where he took up the role of chief executive in 2016. He resigned in May and transferred his duties to colleagues on 1 June but was asked by the board to formally remain in his position until 1 August to ensure a smooth handover.
