Ben Foster has 'no regrets' over turning Newcastle United down despite Carabao Cup opportunity

Former Watford and Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Forster insists he has no regrets over turning down a move to Newcastle United earlier in the season. The ex-Premier League shot stopper was approached by the Magpies with a view to signing a short-term deal at St. James' park as Eddie Howe's side dealt with an injury crisis.

The Toon would sign former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius who is now in contention to start the Carabao Cup Final after Nick Pope was sent off against the Reds at the weekend. Martin Dubravka is cup-tied for the game against the Red Devils and Karl Darlow is currently on loan with Championship side Hull City.

That leaves Karius and Mark Gillespie among the contenders to fill in for Pope. Neither have played a competitive game in over two-years, which has seen pundits claim Manchester United have the advantage.
