Van der Sar never helps me, moans Manchester United keeper Kuszczak
Manchester United reserve goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak last night made the remarkable claim that Old Trafford No 1 Edwin van der Sar has refused to help him with his career at the club.[LNB] Polish international Kuszczak has been at United for more than three seasons but has failed to dislodge Dutch veteran Van der Sar and has made only 35 first-team starts.[LNB] Now the 27-year-old has risked the wrath of his senior team-mate and manager Sir Alex Ferguson by suggesting that Van der Sar has rejected his appeals for tips and advice.[LNB] Small talk: reserve keeper Tomasz Kuszczak says Van Der Sar (right) refuses to help him[LNB]Kuszczak said: 'I must say this, and Edwin won't like this too much forsure, but he doesn't help me too much. I have told him a few timesalready to give me some more advice because he's got more experience.[LNB] 'I say: "You have to give me something more because I like to know what I do wrong and like to watch people because I can improve as a result of the advice."[LNB] 'But I don't know, maybe Edwin doesn't like me. You'll have to ask him.'[LNB] Kuszczak's comments will infuriate Ferguson who hates public signs of disunity from his players. The fact that the remarks came in an interview aired by in-house TV station MUTV will serve only to annoy the United boss further.[LNB] Ferguson will now want to know why these latest comments have been aired at a time when United's defence is struggling for cohesion as it is.[LNB] Kuszczak - who could not even get in the team when Van der Sar missed the start of the season - also hinted that he is growing frustrated with his lot.[LNB] He added: 'As the manager says, you need the whole squad to win trophies. Some play more, some play less. But sooner or later everyone must go and play important games.[LNB] 'The question is how long do you want to wait? Because I try every day. It's a slow process. It's not so easy. I've already waited three and a half years. I will wait longer but my ambition is so big and I want to have a nice feeling after games, be tired and go home and think, "Oh, you did a good job".'[LNB] Meanwhile, Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev is understood to have opened talks over a January move to Old Trafford after impressing for CSKA Moscow against the Barclays Premier League champions.
