Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster doesn't expect to feature in Sunday's Carling Cup final against Aston Villa.

Foster was back between the posts for United's win over West Ham United this week and won the Carling Cup last season.

But he told MUTV: "I'm not really counting on anything like that (being involved), this is my first game in three months," he said. "It'd be a bit ambitious to expect to be playing in the final on Sunday as well. If I'm involved I'll be happy. But so long as we win the match and retain that trophy, we'll all be happy."
