Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Ben Foster will keep his place for Manchester United at Stoke on Saturday despite a day to forget during the derby clash with Manchester City last weekend.[LNB] Tomasz Kuszczak had been tipped to step in for his first Premier League start of the season after he kept a clean sheet in the Carling Cup win over Wolves.[LNB] However, Ferguson has been quick to give Foster a public vote of confidence, saying: "It was a good opportunity for Tomasz to play on Wednesday but Ben will play on Saturday. Ben has not had a lot of game experience but he will be OK."[LNB] Meanwhile, Ferguson confirmed he expects first-choice goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar to be out for another three weeks.[LNB] The veteran Dutchman suffered two broken fingers in a pre-season game against Bayern Munich in July and was immediately consigned to a couple of months on the sidelines.[LNB] Now Ferguson has revealed he does not expect Van der Sar to be back in action until after the next international break.[LNB] "We still feel he is three weeks away," confirmed the United boss, who reported no new injuries following his side's last two games.
