Sir Alex Ferguson has vowed to give all three Manchester
United goalkeepers plenty of playing time this season and hailed
the ‘outstanding’ Ben Foster.
Edwin van der Sar has long been established as United’s first
choice goalkeeper but, as he nears the end of his career, Ferguson
is eager to give Tomasz Kuszczak and Ben Foster more playing
time.
"They will all get their minutes on the clock," he said.
"We have to manage the situation with Edwin because he is
38.
"At that age, we don't need him to play every game because we
have two very capable goalkeepers in Tomasz and Ben.
“Having Ben fit again is an enormous boost to us because he is
an outstanding goalkeeper."
Kuszczak was given a chance to impress in the 2-0 win over West
Ham on Wednesday but, with West Ham enjoying few efforts on goal,
the Poland international admits it was a difficult match for his
return.
"It is not easy when you have nothing to do, but that is how it
is for a goalkeeper,” he said.
“You have to try hard to keep your concentration for 90
minutes.
"You need to do your job properly and keep a clean sheet. This
is most important thing for a goalkeeper and of course very
important for the team as well.
"It was a big day for me because I have not played for a few
weeks. I hope I get another chance soon. Saturday? Why not?"
