Ben Foster.

fergie's comments don't seem to leave much doubt about it:

And Ferguson is confident Foster can go on to cement his place as the number one stopper at the club.

"The future is his," added the Scot. "The present belongs to Edwin Van der Sar, that is obvious, but that performance can only strengthen my opinion of Ben's ability and his own self-confidence.

"He is a strong character - he has had to be. He has had to come through two cruciate ligament injuries and you have to have something inside you to do that."

United's assistant manager Mike Phelan paid tribute to Foster and his team-mates for keeping alive the club's hunt for an unprecedented quintuple.

"In the end it came down to the goalkeepers and our one made a great save," said Phelan.

"Ben has been unlucky with the odd injury this season, but we know he's got quality and he can be a Man Utd goalkeeper.

"It is important he gets games for us and what happened today can only help us.

"It was a hard game and both sets of players were shattered at the end, they were cramping but they kept going and it's a good feeling when you win on penalties."

Foster, playing in only his seventh game of the season for United, was delighted to play his part in the win.

"I felt good from the start. I haven't played many games which isn't great, but it was great of the gaffer to give me a chance today," said Foster.

"All the lads are heroes, they had to knock in the penalties and they looked super-cool, they all looked like they were going to score.

"If they hadn't, we wouldn't have our medals. I'm delighted we managed to win."

seems to kick equally as well with either foot.............nice

'Used his iPod to help him save Spurs penalties.He was wearing his sisters bra underneath his shirt and has also booked a weekend in Prague to celebrate the win.'

When asked to comment, Foster cheerfully replied "NFT!"

how good is this lads distribution?? needs to start being on the bench more instead of PIG

Hopefully that Polish clown will be £#%&!ed off in the summer.

he's only 26 (or is soon?) so long as he keeps himself in good trim - injuries aside of course the sicknote - he'll be around for ages if VDS is anything to judge modern keepers by.

Anybody seen Tom Heaton at first hand? He's had some good reports from Cardiff where he's on loan. It might be worth having him as number 3 and getting rid of Tommy K altogther
