But the Spurs fortunes failed to improve.Bentley wasted the best opportunity of the match. Bale eluded the attentions of Gary Neville, dashing to the byline and squaring his pass to the Bentley. The former Arsenal youth player, who was once groomed as the predecessor to David Beckham on the right of Englands midfield, failed to emulate the iconic number seven at OT, driving his shot straight at the thankful Tomas Kuszczak.Michael Carrick was delegated the role of ensuring that United comfortably ran out the remaining 20 odd minutes of the match while Macheda replaced Berbatov and injected some pace into the United front line.Manchester United once again, has proceeded to the semi-final stages of the Carling Cup. Tottenham were left disappointed and empty handed as they make the long trip back to London and prepare for their important trek to Merseyside at the weekend.Manchester United (4-4-2): Kuszczak; Neville, Brown, Vidic, De Laet; Park, Gibson, Anderson (Tosic 81), Obertan (Carrick 62); Welbeck, Berbatov (Macheda 62). Subs: Amos (g), Owen, Giggs, Fletcher.Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2): Gomes; Hutton, Dawson, Bassong, Bale; Bentley, Palacios (Huddlestone h-t), Jenas, Lennon; Keane (Crouch 65), Defoe Subs: Walker (g), Pavlyuchenko, Naughton, Corluka, Rose. Booked: HuttonReferee: M Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear).Man of the Match: Nemanja VidicThe Serbian looked solid at the heart of Uniteds defence. 
However, the Irish midfielder will almost certainly beat Vidic to the Wednesdays back pages thanks to his two divine strikes (The midfielder warrants an honourable mention).. I know to some this might not make sense but Fouch does have experience he gained in 08 after Lockers injury. I know Husky fans would rather have Montana or Price but Fouch is our best answer if Locker chooses to go Fouch showed good skills at the start of his tenure in 08. In the first four games he would throw for 512 yards, 3 touchdowns and only 1 interception his Quarterback rating would be 103.5 (college rating) and his completion percentage was a good 54.04. Sadly as 08 season progressed Fouch regressed, the more time he spent with former head coach Tyrone Willingham the worst he got The last 7 games would turn into a nightmare for Fouch. Fouch the Redshirt Freshman would throw for only 459 yards, 1 touchdown and 12 Interceptions, and a horrid QB rating of 40.8. The stats above show Fouch did show some promise and does have ability. He has a strong arm and good mobility, maybe not Locker mobility but few Quarterbacks in college do.

Fouch came out of high school as a three star recruit and was said to be the hair to Jake Locker.Lets be honest Nick Montana the son of Joe Montana will not be ready as a true freshman to lead the huskies and bring them back to a bowl. Fouch has talent people but he has to have time to develop it. Fouch also did not have a very good team around him and lost the effort of his men in 2008. Fouch will be the Quarterback under center next year if Locker leaves and we will have to embrace it. If the coaches think he can do it I do too.The options Washington will have are Nick Montana who will be a true freshman, and Keith Price who will be a red shirt freshman.
