Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was impressed by Ben Foster's performance in Sunday's Carling Cup final victory.

He said: "Ben Foster hasn't played many games but it was such a calm and assured performance and I'm sure he's put himself into the limelight.

"He looks comfortable in the position and he enjoys playing.

"We have two other top keepers in Edwin van der Sar and Tomas Kuszczak and they are going to have to battle it out to see who comes out top.

"But Ben certainly did himself justice."
