Life’s tough at Man United-Foster

Ben Foster started in goal for England for the second successive time on Saturday, against Brazil (0-1 loss). But at his club Manchester United, he’s only third choice.

“My situation at United is very disheartening,” Foster said. “But I can’t go to the manager and say Edwin (Van der Sar) is not doing his job because he is. It’s a weird situation, but we’ll see how it works out.”

“I was surprised to play against Brazil, but I trained well and obviously the national coach thought so to. I know I’ll have to play each week if I want to play at the World Cup. But I won’t say I want to leave this winter.”

Although he started the season as first choice following Edwin van der Sar’s finger injury, a couple of high-profile mistakes, coupled with the veteran Dutchman’s return to action have forced Foster out of the side.
