Sir Alex Ferguson has predicted a bright future for teenage defender Kieran Lee after the youngster spared Manchester United from Carling Cup embarrassment at Crewe on Wednesday night.

The holders seemed certain to be taken to penalties by their League One opponents until debutant Lee strode on to Alan Smith's through-ball two minutes from the end of extra time and beat former United trainee Ben Williams with a clinical finish.

"Without question, Kieran is a good player," said Ferguson. "He has good ability, all he needs is time to develop. He showed great awareness to make the run for the goal and it saved me from embarrassment because I never win penalty shoot-outs."
