Manchester United reserve
goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has criticised the club's number one
Edwin Van der Sar for failing to offer him help or
encouragement.
"I must say this, and Edwin won't like this too much for
sure, but he doesn't help me too much," the Polish
international told the club's own MUTV television channel.
"I have told him a few times already to give me some more
advice because he's more experienced and got many more games
under his belt."
"I say to him 'you have to give me something more because I
like to know what I do wrong'," he added.
"I like to watch other people because doing that I can take
some good from the advice I get.
"But I don't know, maybe Edwin doesn't like me. You'll have
to ask him."
Van der Sar, 39, has been with United since 2005 and has
twice won the Champions League, once each with Ajax and United.
Kuszczak joined from West Bromwich Albion in 2006 but has made
only 35 first team starts.
The 27-year-old Pole indicated he was finding the lack of
games difficult to endure.
"The question is how long do you want to wait?" he asked.
"Because I try every day but it's a slow process. It's not
so easy. I feel great in the position but I'm not called up and
sometimes you think 'OK, it's difficult you have to wait.'
"But the question is how long. 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."
