Manchester United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak is hoping to
follow in the footsteps of Red Devils legend Peter
Schmeichel.
The Danish shot-stopper was a huge favourite during his time at Old
Trafford, helping the side to unparalleled success during his near
eight-year spell with the club.
Kuszczak is currently United number two behind Edwin van der Sar,
but the former West Brom ace is biding his time before he makes the
number one shirt his own.
Sir Alex Ferguson has compared the Poland international to
Schmeichel and that has only increased the 25-year-old's desire to
match the imposing displays of the Danish legend.
"Now I've heard that Ferguson actually compared me to Schmeichel -
that's enormous praise," Kuszczak told the newspaper.
"Maybe in a few years I will reach his level. But to get from
having the dream to realising it is a long road.
"I've got my head down and I'm working hard. It's definitely hard
to win a rivalry with a keeper who is 37 and has played 119
internationals."
