Tomasz Kuszczak has confirmed that he will be leaving Manchester United summer. After unsurprisingly failing to displace Edwin Van der Sar as our number one and David De Gea all but signed as our future number one, the Pole is no longer happy to warm the bench.
Kuszczak has become increasingly petulant as his frustration has grown. On the morning of United’s game against Fulham a couple of months ago, he was in the papers complaining about his current situation.
“I will definitely leave the club,” he said. “My time in Manchester is coming to an end. I worked a lot in five years and never played as much as I wanted. It’s a shame the coach never gave me a serious opportunity.”
Hours later he was named in the starting line up, so it wasn’t the best preparation for an important game.
The last game he played for us was against Blackburn on the day we won the 19th title, with Sir Alex wanting to protect Van der Sar for the European Cup final. He had a poor game and made stupid mistakes.
I can’t imagine there will be many reds that miss him, particularly after another complaint today, but all the best for the future Tomasz.
“I haven’t spoken with Alex Ferguson,” he said. “He has told me nothing. He never tells me anything. I don’t know if I can stick it any more. I have some offers and we will see what happens with them. I think I will stay in England. I have been in the country for seven years and people here know what I can do.”

Man Utd News 24/7
All the PiG.
* I missed out the ‘best’! Didn’t do it on purpose, honest…
That’ll do pig, that’ll do.
Cya. Close the door on the way out.
People here know what you can do?!? Ok go sign for scunthorpe then. Not going to be missed at all — always rated foster over him!! LOL!
He is consistently average, not quick, not intelligent, poor distribution and his shakiness always seems to rub off on his defenders (not saying foster gave us any more confidence but hey). Just looking at the Blackburn match is unfair on the lad however he had an absolute shocker but he deserves to go with the fans respect having stuck his arse on the bench for 5 years. The thing about reserve keepers is unlike outfield players who could rotate, once there is an established first choice you rarely get a look in except for those insignificant games so the reserve keeper is always going to move on at some point for his careers sake. Lindegaard will go down this same path, he is not going to stay at this club for more than 4 or 5 years because De Gea is going to be between the sticks 90% of the time.
So thanks for the reserve games kuscack can’t say its been a pleasure but good luck wherever you end up!
Who cares where he goes
Cheerio.
“people here know what i can do”………………………………. not alot
Good riddance.
Average goalkeeper, no place for him at Utd
Roy Carroll has made a name for himself in Denmark… ha ha
Maybe PIG can see what the competition there is like.
He is a good keeper,but the pressure got to him like it did to howard/caroll.
He is frustrated ,as he is ambitious,would like to thank him for his service to the club and wish him all the best wherever he goes.
Good luck kid.
He is rotten.let him leave for Blackpool’s football academy.there the lads will realize Wat he cant do.LEAVE NOW OK.
He was a liability when ever he played, how many penalties did he give away ? Poor, Poor Goalkeeper
You are talking bull… He’s at least twice as Foster.
Remeber?
Kuszczak saved WBA before relagation with his own hands. Kid Foster didnt.
When he learns to catch a football his career prospects might increase
What ‘PIG’ stand for?
Well I’ll Be Damned, Pigs Can Talk ?
Well what did you expect? You were number 2 to the best keeper in the world, so its no surprise you did not play much and when you did at times you had shockers …….
Anyway, good luck and thank you for your services
Sir Alex ruthless as usual. He is obviously working on signing a new goalie but he also wants to be sure he has Kuszczak as a back-up in case things go wrong. And he doesn’t want to talk to him openly because as soon as he does, Kuszczak will start talks with another club.
Papii
LOL – By the way ‘Joned’ the beast says hello!
Cedars -
Hahaha This “joned” will be glad he Joined, might have to get “Joned” on the back my shirt now
Farmer Hoggit to PIG :
Is that you Babe?
Your leaving?
What ! Fergie doesn’t tell you anything you say !
Its because your Pig for fuck sakes
Your Not Meant to speak !
I think he had some o.k. games for United.
He never made me feel as confident as VDS but thats a huge ask.
I’m not particularly confident about De Gea either.
I am however confident that SAF will make the best decision.
No need for the hatred toward Tomas. Yes he wasnt great but he never REALLY let us down. All the best PIG.
Like Foster when given the chance he never really impressed. I can understand his frustration, he was at the biggest club in the world and he had his chance. If anything he is probably more frustrated with himself knowing he was not enough.
Anyway he tried his best and good luck to him at his new club.
Its all been said , i feel . I wish him all the best at his future club .
Papii
Hahaha, cracked me up that, thanks…. By the way have we signed Nasri or De Rossi or Modric yet? I am nervous, we need to match Barca or we are fucked as a football club….
King Eric
Well said buddy, we should thank him and wish him well
i think he’s had loadddss of opportunities. he’s played more games than any other second string keeper we’ve ever had. knobhead.
Was a good number 2, played his part when called upon. I think he could be a decent Prem. keeper for someone, just not for us.
All the best Tomasz.
Good luck at your next club Tom.
I think it best for him and United that they part company.
He is a good keeper but in my humble opinion is not United quality.
By the way why PIG?
show some class you idiots…. he never saved us from relegation nor did he win us titles…. but he was a servant of the club and stuck with us for a fair while…. a little gratitude for the same would be nice…. punks!!
PIGGGG

Short for Pole In Goal
Hope he can make something out of himself somewhere else. He doesn’t have the mettle to succeed at United, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world for him. If anything, he can always tell his grandpiglets he understudied Edwin van der Sar for what? 4-5 years??
SAF knows best. How many times did we dread seeing his name on the teamsheet because we knew he wasn’t up to it really. I would have given Ben Amos the 2nd keeper spot
If he stays in the premier league then all Chicharito has to do is chase him down as he will fuck up !!
Gutted about this…
Should have been kicked out of the club years ago!
Goodbye
So you expected opportunities with Van Der Sar ahead of you? Steups
Can’t blame him for moving on if he wants to play regularly and it must be a bit annoying to know that he’s waited five years for a chance at the top job and then we’re all over the papers trying to sign De Gea (or whoever else) who will just walk straight in.
He’s never really impressed but he was a good servant to the club and I always liked him better than Foster.
Good luck Tomasz
Wise words, aliasrns5. This year was awful for him, but he’s been a really decent 2nd choice GK for so long time. Good luck in your next club, PIG.
Most of you have NO NO NO NO idea about the game of football LOOOOOL
Seriosuly, (addressed only to some of the morons here) HE WAS JUST A NUMBER 2 !! And he did a GOOD job as a number 2. Who would you want to be your number to to VDS? Young idiot like Foster who made so many mistkaes that cost us points or title? I think he didn’t let us down, that’s for sure. Not good enough to be UTD’s no. 1 but as some said, show some gratitute to the guy… He wants to play – that’s obvious. But honestyl? I would feel safter when he’s is on the bench and can (in case of emergencies) replace our no. 1 rathehrn than having some unknown dennish keeper
GOOD LUCK TOMASZ
shouldnt people be showing a bit more respect pig has been here for fie years playing understudy to then find out after waiting for that long he wont be taking over what in his mind should be his by right . any
one would complain a bit if he didnt then there would be sommit wrong it shows he wants to be a starter and not a bench warmer like a lot of other so called players are it shows he has ambition’
i say good luck and thanx for 5 years of service . ps sign for the gooners they need a goalie lol would do me fine if he did and played like he did against brfc
Forgive my ignorance, but why call him PIG.
Is it because he is the Polish International Goalkeeper?
He was average at best, I wouldn’t say he is a No.1 contender.
Leighton Mark Two…..
Hopefully he will hear Fergie say ‘On ya bike son…’ PIG’s never good enough to be our number one, great shot stopper but terrible distribution, crap on crosses and no command of his area.
rafa – Do enlighten us then? FSW!
thanks pig n by d way, say hi to all ur piglets….
“I have been in the country for seven years and people here know what I can do.” ….yes Tomasz, we all know. That’s the problem
Decent keeper imo. Obviously not talented enough to serve as a long term no.1 at United, but can do very well elsewhere.
The Farmer’s comment – that’ll do pig, that’ll do – was lovely, lmfao, comment of the week and big manly kisses to you.
Good luck to you pig, thanks for being our number 2, shame you’re a bit, well, number 2.
wow cant believe there are so many pple that dont hv love for PIG..
Sure hes been complaining in the press lately but he’s sat on our bench for 6-7 yrs nw.. despite all his faults he is a gd shot stopper and is gd enough for a no.1 spot somewhere in the middle reaches of the league..
not utd quality though, thanks for everything and gd luck tomasz
Never send a pig to do de gay’s job
errrr… Wut?
I think he has been lead on thinking he will eventually be no.1. I sympathize with his situation with the new keeper coming in. he waited his whole life for a real chance and never got it.
Good luck to him. I guess he tried his best but that just wasn’t good enough in the end. Shame about the wankers who feel the need to abuse the guy as he’s leaving. The same twats who keep banging on about ‘loyal supporters’.
I love United.
I love ALL our players.
I love Tomasz Kuszczak! All the best, lad!
There’s a lot of harsh words on here for a decent keeper who’s never let United down (alright forget Blackburn as a one off). There’s plenty of complete f***wits who have let us down properly, and seen us out of CLs and the rest (Howard and Barthez, for starters).
Anyway, most fans, like outfield players, know f*** all about keeping.
Scott, what’s with the PIG malarky? Even Rooney didn’t get that sort of nickname from RoM. And if you want petulant, go see Ronaldo, Nani & Tevez before hitting on poor Kuszczak.
Good keeper, sorry to see him go. You’ll all be wanting him back after watching Lindegaard for 2 or 3 games.
T-Kusz got some serious game – and that’s real talk!
LEGEND!
….among Poles in Goal
Yes, considering some of the other twats: Artur Bollocks, Szczensny Hawkes, that other geezer Arsenal had
Its hard to have any feeling towards a back up goalkeeper because the clues in the name, he’s only a backup, he never plays so ive never really grown to like him.
Prone to mistakes, and has made ALOT of them when he’s been given the chance to play,
He’s a good shot stopper but his kicking and collecting is poor, so wont be sad to see the back of him, will probably do decent somewhere else when he gets a good run of games, so good luck to him.
He used to wear his shorts back to front for good luck. Nuff said.
His shorts were the right way round it was just the rest of him that wasn’t… (-:
Whiteside – very, very funny at 21:15! Brilliant!
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. Which also sums up his keeping. Ha ha I love you really Pig.
Tomasz’ time at United will be remembered.
The eon of the PiG, or PiGeon, flew by, as on the wings of a dove.
Speaking of which, the dove may be the bird of peace, but for true love, she must swallow.
Not forgetting dirtbox action. (-:
Dirt in the box is a grind.
who fucking cares about him.
Didn’t get a proper run out eh? So who filled in for VDS when he was caring for his family? What a D-bag..
the fuck is wrong with most of you? he played for united, gave it his all and remained an understudy to vds even though he could have fucked off. and all this bullshit about “not united quality”? fuck off idiots. he plays for united doesnt he?
Why call him PIG?
So did this guy: http://www.footballpictures.net/data/media/132/Dong-Fangzhuo.jpg
