Back-up Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has slammed his own club, claiming that he has become a "slave" at Old Trafford.

Kuszczak is United's third-choice keeper behind David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard.

He claims that he has made it clear that he wants to move on from the Red Devils in search of regular football, but he says that his attempts have been blocked.

"I've become a slave to Manchester," Kuszczak said. "I'm frustrated but I don't want to slander or criticise Ferguson. It's not my style.

"I've talked to Ferguson recently. I asked him to let me leave the club now, before the January transfer window.

"I told him I want to play and get back into the national team, because Euro 2012 is just around the corner, but it seems he doesn't care."

Kuszczak was linked with a loan move to Leeds during the summer, but a deal fell through at the last minute.

"The possibility of a two-month loan to Leeds United came up. The club blocked it.

"It was a glimmer of hope for me. It would have reminded the Poland manager about me, but I didn't get the club's approval.

"Do they do it maliciously? I'm sad they behave like that. I have respect for Ferguson because, for me, he's a great manager, but I hope he will let me go in January."

Kuszczak has more recently been linked with a loan move to Sunderland.
