Summary
Ben Foster was rewarded for his goalkeeping heroics in Manchester United's League Cup penalty shootout victory last season when he signed a new four year contract with the Premier League champions. The 26-year-old is seen by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson as the natural successor to present incumbent Edwin van der Sar, despite having a season where he battled against a succession of injuries. We are delighted that Ben has signed a new four-year deal, commented Ferguson. Ben is seen as one of the best young goalkeepers in England and we genuinely see him as a successor to Edwin van der Sar.
