Ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar took back his birthday wish to Newcastle United's Tim Krul once he realised that the Magpies were facing his former club this weekend.
The 43-year-old wished his fellow Dutchman a 'Happy Birthday' on Twitter this week as the Newcastle shot-stopper celebrated turning 26 years old.
Van der Sar hoped that Krul would keep a clean sheet in his next game, but took his wish back when he discovered that the Magpies will be hosting the Red Devils at St James' Park on Saturday.
"@TimKrul: Thanks everyone for the birthday messages .. #gettingold" Also for you I wish you a happy birthday and a clean sheet tomorrow!!

Sorry @TimKrul didn't know you are playing @ManUtd this weekend so I have to get you a different present later for your birthday!!
