Kuszczak denies ´slave´ comment

Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak denies saying he has become a ‘slave’ of the Premier League club.

The out-of-favour Polish international was quoted making the claim against the Old Trafford outfit after a loan move to Leeds United was blocked by the club.

However, according to Kuszczak, his interview with Polish magazine SuperExpress was mistranslated.

He told United’s official website: “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.”

“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 mis-reported.”

“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.”
