Out-of-favour Manchester United goalkeeper Thomas Kuszczak has denied claims that he described himself as a ‘slave’ at the club, and states that he has the utmost respect for his employers.
The Polish stopper was believed to have complained about his current situation at Old Trafford, moaning that he did not get enough game-time.
However the fringe player has moved to deny the comments supposedly made to Polish newspaper SuperExpress and clear his name.
“In response to recent press reports in the English media, I would like to set the record straight by clarifying that I did not use the word ‘slave’ in a recent interview I gave to the Polish newspaper SuperExpress, about my current position at Manchester United Football Club,” he said in a statement.
“At no point during the interview did I use the word ‘slave’, or imply that the club was treating me like a ‘slave’.
“Indeed what I did say has either been misinterpreted or misreported.
“It is important to clear this misinformation up because I have the utmost respect for the club and have not described my relationship with the club in this way because it is simply not the case,” he concluded.
Kuszczak has fallen behind Anders Lindegaard and David de Gea in Sir Alex Ferguson’s pecking order, and a loan move has been touted.
