Goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has claimed he is being treated like a "slave" by Manchester United after a proposed loan move to Leeds was blocked.
The Poland international was keen to join the Championship club to boost his chances of selection for Euro 2012.
But according to the 29-year-old, his request was turned down by manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
In comments reported by a number of national newspapers, Kuszczak said: "I've become a slave to Manchester."
The Pole added: "I'm frustrated but I don't want to slander or criticise Ferguson. It's not my style.
I'd like to be a slave that gets paid £30,000 a week and does nothing for a living.
Szczesny, Boruc and Fabianski are better than him he won't make it to Euroes..
Must be tough getting all that cash every week. If he doesn't care about that then go play in a few divisions lower where he will get his game every week!
So Utd chained him up and shipped him from his homeland and forced him to work?
"Slave" has some very negative connotations. He should think before he opens his mouth.
Surely he knows we don't play him because he's absolutely awful?
He had a good game 1 every 10 matches. The other 9 he flapped at the ball.
