Manchester United legend Andy Cole is impressed by three of the club's young players.

"I think the manager's already come out and said he's going to be the future of Manchester United goalkeeping," he told Setanta of goalkeeper Ben Foster.

"After he went on loan to Watford, he's done extremely well. He's got injured, but he's been playing for England as well."

The likes of Danny Welbeck and Darron Gibson did not fare as well as Foster in the Carling Cup final, but Cole is confident that they will start delivering soon.

"I think they're players for the future," he said.

"The manager gave them a great stage to perform and no doubt they'll get that stage again. "They might not have played as well as they wanted to play but, within time, they'll do just that. I think they're good enough to hold their own."
