Agree, i think this is really for safety reasons more than anything. Over the next few years, TK and BF will be given more and more games.
----------------------
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has signed a new one-year contract extension, tying him to the club until the end of the 2009 season.
Van der Sar joined from Fulham in June 2005
The 37-year-old had been considering retirement at the end of this season.
"He is number one at the moment, but you can't guarantee players a position and say they'll definitely be in your team," said boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
"Edwin will want to be number one next season but Ben Foster will be back and I am sure he will want to be too."
England international Foster is currently sidelined after cruciate knee ligament surgery.
There were suggestions Van der Sar could be handed a role on the Old Trafford backroom staff as goalkeeping coach Tony Coton is currently sidelined following a recent knee operation.
But Ferguson stressed the Dutchman's new deal was "totally as a player".
