The departure of Ben Foster to Birmingham City has provided him with an opportunity to do better for himself. His exit from Old Trafford has also done good for Ben Amos, who becomes the third keeper for Manchester United.
Ben Amos is a talented young goalkeeper who has been capped by England at youth level. More detailed bio of Amos can be found here.
Amos, 20, has made just one first-team appearance (vs Middlesbrough in the Carling Cup third round in 2008/09), although he has consistently impressed for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reserve team this term.
Sir Alex Ferguson was planning to loan Amos next season so that he could get more competitive football. But with Ben Foster gone, he intends to keep Amos at OT. Sir Alex said, "He will now be our third keeper. He's very talented and has a good future ahead of him."
A keen learner, Ben has his sights set on regular first team involvement. I doubt whether he'll play for the first team next season. VDS and Kuszczak would definitely be the main stoppers. Also Sir Alex is looking for a long term replacement of VDS and has been linked with many keepers.
It's a matter of time that he brings a new goalie at OT. But Amos is young and will definitely get his chances to play at the top level for Manchester United.
