Manchester United Player Profiles : Park Ji-Sung

Filed under: Manchester United Football Club, Manchester United Players

The pacy South Korean arrived at United in the summer of 2005 for an undisclosed fee. He joined from PSV Eindhoven and Guus Hiddink was all praises for him. He had had a great season in 2004-05 winning the dutch title and the cup to do the double, not to mention reaching the last-four stage of the Champions League before bowing out to AC Milan.

Park is more of a winger, with the capability to play at either flank. He bagged his first ever goal as United beat Birmingham City in the Carling Cup quarter-finals in December that year. He has a nice pacy look to him, with good skill on the ball. He may not always feature in the first team at United for the time being, but he is one who needs some more time to adapt to the English game. All in all, he is a very promising player and could potentially become a regular provided he adapts a little more and hopefully he will, given the skills he already possesses.

Park is injured at the moment, recovering from a leg injury but should be back in contention soon.
