Sir Alex Ferguson is considering sending goalkeeper Ben
Foster on loan, following his recovery from knee ligament
damage.
Foster, 24, played 90 minutes for the reserves on Thursday
night after a 10-month absence and came through the match
unscathed.
A number of clubs have made enquiries about the England
international's availability - he spent the last two seasons at
Watford - and Ferguson said: "We might put him out on loan until
the end of the season.
"I think that would be good for Ben and I will have a chat with
him early next week.
"We have already had a few enquiries for him from the
Championship and will consider these options."
With England current number one David James visiting Old
Trafford with Portsmouth on Saturday, Ferguson has reminded
national team boss Fabio Capello of Foster's qualities.
"Everyone recognises that he is potentially the top goalkeeper
England have available," said the United boss. "I think he is above
them all.
"He came through the reserve game without any problems. We are
very pleased, because he is a fantastic prospect."
