Yep...you heard it here first, the Korean news agencies haven't got a hold of it yet but no doubt by this time tomorrow it will be all over the news.
Man UTd will probably sign Park Ji Sung for 3 million pounds from PSV...Brian Glazier is in Holland right now...its from the Guardian so it is pretty solid rumour
Expect to see a truckload more Man Utd on TV...

To be fair this story has been all over the Korean sports media since Thursday when the Daily Mirror first broke it in England - go visit Soccerworld and you'll find TONS of threads on the subject  |

| Great news for Korean football. Park and Lee Young-Pyo are by far Korea's best players. It'll be interesting to see where Fergie slots Park in amongst the likes of Ronaldo, Scholes, Giggs et al. |

This is very old news.
Interesting nevertheless.
United have a way to go before he signs and I for one hope we don't get him. Not good enough. Plain and simple. |

Very good point. Park may find himself a benchman. I hope not. It'll be interesting to see a Korean play in the fastest, toughest league in the world. |

| It is marketing. They really want the revenue that the Korean market might produce. 3 million pound gamble is worth it. |

Exactly.. This is merely phase #1 of Glazer's whoring out of the ManU brand for everything it's worth..
That being said, nothing should be taken away from him as a player.. |

Wow, this news broke in Canada over the weekend, and I think half of the country shat themselves out of excitement!

Right. Remember the LA Dodgers? I wonder if it will be overkill this time around, too. |

you can't say on the one hand that they're just buying him for the marketing, and then in the next sentence that he's a great player?!
Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing how he plays next season- wonder if they're lining him up as a replacement for Scholes, who's rumoured to be retiring soon... |

sure you can. they are players equally as talented as him, but not all of them would be major draws in large market.. joe schmo brit would have a hard time arousing the masses as a Korean of equal or greater skill can.
You're fooling yourself if you don't think this is part of a marketing plan.. they just happen to be marketing a better than average korean from a better than average market. |
