EDWIN ASKS FOR ONE LAST PUSH

Last updated : 03 May 2006 By Editor

With second place up for grabs on Sunday Edwin van der Sar has asked for a little help from fans to gain the second automatic Champions League qualification spot.

"We know we need to win and hopefully the fans can help us do that," the Dutch keeper told MUTV.

"We need them to get behind us like they always do and perhaps even give us a little bit more support to try to get us over the little blip we've had with the loss at Chelsea and the draw with Middlesbrough.

"The title is gone but after that you have to make sure you get second place.

"It's important for both the club and the players, especially after the World Cup, because it wouldn't be good to have to play a qualification match after the tournament.

"We certainly deserve that second spot and we all need to work hard to make sure we get the three points against Charlton."
