Sir Alex Ferguson is willing to give goalkeeper Ben Foster a final chance to prove he has what it takes to succeed Edwin Van der Sar as Manchester United's No.1.Foster began the season in goal for United, with Van der Sar injured, but has fallen down the pecking order and is currently third-choice behind Tomasz Kuszczak.
But Fergie has challenged Foster, who recently signed a new four-year deal with United, to show why he is regarded as England's future No.1 goalkeeper.
"Ben has been unfortunate," said Fergie. "His performance for the reserves the other night was tremendous and it showed the fantastic talent he's got.
"He made some mistakes earlier in the season, Kusczcak got in, and his form has been great.
"Tomasz has had a great season. Every time he's played he's been outstanding. So what do I do? Pick Ben because he's English or go with form? I have to go with form.
"Tomasz has been in better form than Ben this year. That's the only reason. But Ben will come back. He'll be tremendous next season. He's still young."
