The goalkeeper has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford - behind David de Gea, Anders Lindegaard and Ben Amos - and is yet to make a first-team appearance this season.
"I really miss the feeling of a matchday when you're involved," Kuszczak told Watford's official website.
"I want to have a chance of being involved in the Euros in my home country this summer, so I need to be out there playing so everyone can see I'm fighting fit and still very hungry"
With one eye on the European Championships, the 29-year old shot stopper believes he has made the right choice in joining Sean Dyche's side and could to make his debut against Southampton at the weekend.
He continued: "Where Watford were in the Championship table never crossed my mind. I knew this to be a good club and I didn't have to think long at all about coming down here.
"Football is my passion, not just a job. That's why I'm here. Watford is my club, my team now.
"This seems like a club with young players and young staff taking their work seriously. Let's see how much I can help in my time here.
"I'm grateful to Watford for the chance and hopefully this can benefit both sides."
