Foster going nowhere – Ferguson

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has denied reports of out-of-favour goalkeeper Ben Foster leaving Old Trafford in January.

Ferguson said: “He is definitely staying. He will be a terrific keeper.”

“He has had a couple of bad mistakes in games but his performance level has been very good,” added Ferguson.

“Ben is a strong lad. Without doubt he is England’s best goalkeeper. Without question he has the best presence and he is the quickest. He is also very brave.

“But for a lad of 26 he has not had much game experience. That is the negative part for him and that is where maybe it will cost him his England position at the moment.

“However, I am not protecting the lad because he is my goalkeeper but when I look at the abilities of the goalkeepers in the league who are English, I don’t think they are as good as Ben Foster. It is as simple as that.”
