Reports that Ben Foster has already received a new contract
offer are unfounded, according to the agent of the young Manchester
United goalkeeper.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper, who has only played for the Red Devils
on seven occasions, was instrumental in the League Cup win over
Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, saving a Jamie O'Hara penalty in the
shootout.
Some sections of the English media have been recording that Foster
has an offer on the table and that an extension of his current deal
is a mere formality away, but these reports are premature at
best.
"Reports suggesting Ben has agreed a new deal are not true," agent
Lee Payne insisted on skysports.com.
"Ben is very happy at the moment, but as yet we have not held any
talks with United."
The 6ft 4in shot-stopper has already been capped once by England
and is being tipped to become the Three Lions' No. 1 in the coming
years.
