Former ‘keeper launches verbal tirade towards Ferguson

Former Manchester United shotstopper Tomasz Kuszczak has accused the club of pricing him out of a move to a Premiership or Europa League team. The Daily Mirror reports that Poland international has claimed United demanded more than the fee Shay Given was sold to Aston Villa for.

The 30-year-old moved to Old Trafford in 2006 from West Bromwich Albion, but made just 61 appearances in all competitions during his six year stint at the club, which included a loan spell with Championship side Watford.

Kuszczak eventually secured a move away from United this summer, joining Championship title contenders Brighton & Hove Albion, but has launched a scathing attack at his former employers and their treatment as he looked to secure first-team football.
