Polish stopper Tomasz Kuszczak is determined to make a
claim for the Reds’ no.1 jersey this season.
Since arriving at Old Trafford in 2006, Kuszczak,
who was beaten only from the penalty spot in United’s pre-season
friendly against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday, has acted as Edwin van
der Sar’s chief understudy.
But the time has come, he believes, to push for top spot and turn
out regularly for the first team.
“I hope to get more chances to play in the future,” Kuszczak told
MUTV at Cape
Town's Newlands Stadium.
“I say this openly because I came to Manchester two years ago and
I’ve trained very hard. I always try to be ready for the team and I
hope my chance will come soon and I’ll get more games to prove
myself.
“I’m very happy to play 90 minutes [against Kaizer Chiefs]. The
first game back after a break is always a little difficult because
you don’t know where you are with your form, but I’m happy with
mine and I’ll keep going.”
