Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that keeper Ben Foster will be recalled to play Sunderland this weekend. Foster didn’t play in yesterday’s Champions League match against Wolfsburg. This led to speculation that Foster had been dropped because of his form, even though he kept a clean sheet against Stoke.
Before the game kicked off, Sir Alex wanted to make it quite clear that Foster wasn’t dropped; his was just rotating his squad. I expected Tomasz Kuszczak to play in the Carling Cup match last week but I didn’t expect him to play yesterday. To his credit, he did well but he didn’t really have that much to do.
Sir Alex said: "Tomasz Kuszczak produced a very good performance against Wolves last week and we felt he deserved to play another game"
"It wasn't going to be last Saturday though because we had to give Ben some support after that difficult game against Manchester City."
"It was a good opportunity for us to play Tomasz tonight but Ben will play on Saturday."
Were you surprised to see Kuszczak start last night?
