On this episode of The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Gary Neville sits down for an exclusive one-to-one with Manchester United legend Edwin van der Sar.

Edwin reflects on why Manchester United still feels like home and reveals the approach he received from the club after retiring about a potential boardroom role. Would he ever return?

The conversation also turns to Ajax, where Edwin played a key role in rebuilding the club. He explains the philosophy behind their success, developing talents like Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez, and what it takes to build a winning culture from the top.

We dive into the evolution of goalkeeping, including his work with André Onana and why modern keepers are being asked to do more than ever. He also discusses the next generation and the qualities he looks for in a top goalkeeper.
