Edwin van der Sar<\/a> has stated that there is no reason that Manchester United<\/a> cannot beat Barcelona<\/a> in the next few years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van der Sar retired at the end of the season, with his last appearance coming in the Champions League final defeat to the Catalans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following that disappointment, Sir Alex Ferguson has already begun reinforcing his team, adding defender Phil Jones, with moves for Ashley Young and Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea on the Scot\u2019s agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

With these signings, Van der Sar believes that United can only get better.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course they will improve and grow next year \u2013 and that\u2019s what they have to do,\u201d Van der Sar is quoted as saying by talkSPORT<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the minute Barcelona are better than us and that happens \u2013 sometimes in your life you come up against people who are better than you; it\u2019s what sport is about. So you have to learn to compete against them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt this moment we aren\u2019t good enough and that hurts, but there\u2019s no reason why the team cannot come back next year and the year after.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t be there but I will be watching! I know the manager will build a team that is capable of challenging Barcelona; it will be a big incentive for him.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
