United legend Ole Solskjaer turned hero as he fired in two beautiful goals against the south african side -Orlando Pirates in Durban.
Unlike departing hero Ruud van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer has to go back to a European encounter with Panathinaikos in September 2003 for his last senior United goal.
United practically has control of the whole game and ended up 4-0 winners thanks to superb displays from Scholes,Ole,Richardson,Rossi and Giggs.
Ferguson may be a man under pressure as he tries to forge a plausible challenge to Chelsea with a squad about to lose van Nistelrooy, with doubts remaining over Cristiano Ronaldo and no fresh faces from the end of last season.
But what pleasure it must have given the Scot to see Solskjaer firing home so clinically and Paul Scholes providing the bullets.
Scholes look to be in fine form,a truly good news for any United fan.
In the meantime United are set to extend Van Der Sar’s stay at Old Trafford for another year.
Edwin has one more year left on his contract and we are looking to give him another one,’ said Ferguson.
‘We have to pay attention to his age and it depends on how he does next season but he was a terrific addition to our squad last year. His form was superb.’
By staying with United for extra year, Van der Sar will also buy Ferguson a bit of time as he assesses whether youngster Ben Foster has the quality required to eventually become first-choice.
