Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar says the club can replace David De Gea.

The Spaniard has stalled on signing a new deal worth 290,000-a-week.

He could enter January able to sign a pre-contract with foreign clubs, and van der Sar says United could replace the former Atletico Madrid man.

"Other goalkeepers can also fill the gap," the Dutchman said.

"There are a few Premier League goalkeepers playing at the club who can also take the step up. I was 34 when I went to United, so there are lots of opportunities there.

"The decision needs to come at a certain point. It's taken a long time now, so it's a case of 'yes' or 'no' but I'm not a director of United."
