Fergie has faith in Foster

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson maintains he has "no worries" over the ability of keeper Ben Foster.

The 26-year-old endured a difficult afternoon at Wembley as Chelsea won the FA Community Shield on penalties following an action-packed curtain raiser to the new campaign.

Foster is standing in for Edwin van der Sar and is likely to feature for England in the forthcoming friendly against Holland.

While Ferguson admits it was not the best display from Foster, who had a two-year loan spell at Watford, the Scot insists he has every confidence the keeper can deliver.

"Knowing Ben and the ability which he has, he should have done better with the second goal," said the United manager.

"However, it was his first big challenge. He has waited a long time, has had his injuries and in pre-season I spread the load between the three keepers and maybe we did not have enough minutes for him.

"But the important thing is, knowing his ability, it means I do not have any worries about him."
