Ben Foster has signed a four-year contract with United. This means the young goalkeeper will remain at Old Trafford until 2013. He is the hot candidate to replace Edwin Van der Sar who is going to retire after 2009/10 season.

Ben is famous for saving Jamie O'Hara's penalty in the Carling Cup final against Tottenham earlier this year. "I'm really happy to commit my future to the club. The team spirit here is fantastic and working alongside Edwin and Tomasz [Kuszczak] has been a great influence on my career," he said.

Meanwhile, Fergie was delighted with the contract extension. "We are delighted that Ben has signed a new four-year deal. 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."
