The Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has joined Championship side Watford on emergency loan terms for the rest of the season.

The Poland international, 29, has made 61 appearances for United since arriving in summer 2006 but has not featured for the first team this season, with David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard the first two choices between the posts following Edwin van der Sar's retirement.

Kuszczak started his professional career with Hertha Berlin and moved to England in 2004, signing for West Bromwich. He switched to Old Trafford in July 2006, initially on loan before penning a permanent deal the following summer.
