Ben Foster is facing a hell of a time at Manchester United right now. After enduring a turbulent few weeks at Old Trafford, he is currently recovering form a chest problem. And the return of Edwin van der Sar only make things even more sour for him.
Foster has been guarding the United goal ever since van der Sar injured his fingers during a pre-season match with Bayern Munich. But his performances have not lived up to United's standards. He was blamed for two Manchester City goals in the thrilling Old Trafford derby last month before being brushed aside far too easily by Sunderland's Kenwyne Jones last weekend.
Such unconvincing displays from Ben Foster have prompted United fans like me to pray for van der Sar's early return. With almost 2 months of absence, Edwin van der Sar is set for his highly-anticipated comeback after playing the entire 90 minutes in the reserves.
The tall Dutchman seems to be ready to start the game with Bolton before the Premier League begins again after the international break.

Meanwhile, Ben Foster's future seems to be in doubt as Sir Alex Ferguson plans to launch a £10million raid on CSKA Moscow for Igor Akinfeev if Van der Sar calls it a day at the end of the season.
