No loan move for Foster.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has decided not to allow goalkeeper Ben Foster to go out on loan to a Championship side this season.

The young English keeper asked if he could drop down a level and sign on loan for the rest of the season, but Sir Alex has refused despite Edwin van der Sar and Tomasz Kuzszack being fit. Foster was promised a loan move before he made his debut at Derby County. Ferguson has told him to wait for his chance. It seems that the goalkeeper who has not yet conceded a goal for the Man Utd first-team will have some part to play in the team’s bid to win the double. Maybe it is just a reassurance to the whole squad, if a shock injury hits one of the goalkeepers. Ferguson did not think it wise to let Foster move at this stage of the season as it could have an unsettling back-firing effect on the team.
