Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that Polish goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak will make his first UEFA Champions League start for Manchester United FC on Tuesday after Edwin van der Sar injured a toe in Saturday's defeat of Birmingham City FC.

'Very able'
The 36-year-old Dutchman did not come out for the second half after falling awkwardly when collecting the ball during the first. His replacement did not disappoint, making one superb reaction stop in particular to help United towards yet another 1-0 victory. Sir Alex said: "Edwin's damaged his toe - to what extent I don't know but we'll send him for a scan. He'll be out for Tuesday, that's for certain. It's a worry when you lose a man of his experience but Tomasz Kuszczak is very able and I'm pleased we've got someone as good as that."

he is quite competent from the looks of it and with ferdinand and vidic in defence he should not have much problems keeping out the opposition. so far, i dont think he has let in a goal. good defence in the united team.
