Ajax have announced plans to hold a testimonial for their former goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar following his retirement.

The 40-year-old spent eight years at the club between 1991 and 1999, making 311 appearances.

He then moved on for spells with Juventus, Fulham and finally Manchester United, playing his final match before his retirement in their 3-1 UEFA Champions League final defeat to Barcelona last weekend.

Ajax confirmed on their website they will pay their own tribute to the former Netherlands international with a testimonial on 3 August at the Amsterdam ArenA involving former team-mates.
