Hull's Premier League survival hopes hang on Fergie's kid glove treatment
Sir Alex Ferguson is considering throwing a 19-year-old goalkeeper who has played just once for Manchester United into a game that could decide the fate of Hull City and Newcastle United.
It is understood that, as he looks to protect his first-team players from injury ahead of next Wednesday's Champions League final against Barcelona in Rome, United manager Ferguson is considering handing young Ben Amos his Premier League debut at Hull on Sunday.
Ferguson will not risk first-choice Edwin van der Sar, and with England's Ben Foster out of action for the rest of the season after a thumb injury, the United boss is also concerned about playing Van der Sar's other understudy, Tomasz Kuszczak, in case he is injured ahead of the European showpiece final.

This leaves only Amos, whose sole first-team appearance was in a 3-1Carling Cup win over Middlesbrough at Old Trafford last September.Ferguson is aware of the criticism he will receive if he fields a teamof youngsters against Hull because Newcastle - who are at Aston Villaon the same day - will definitely be relegated if United lose.
