South Korean ace to join Manchester United
South Korean World Cup star Park Ji-sung has informed his Dutch club PSV Eindhoven that he is leaving for Old Trafford to join Premier league club Manchester United.
An official for Park's agent, FS Corp, has already visited the club's headquarters to announce the player's long-awaited decision. Park had been hesitant to leave the Dutch champions because of his personal ties with club coach Guus Hiddink, who led South Korea to the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup. "Park has made up his mind to join Manchester and the president of our company, Lee Cheol-Ho, visited the Eindhoven office and informed them of Park's intention," said Kim Jung-Il, manager of FS Corp. Park's contract with PSV, which he joined in 2002, will expire in June next year. Park, 24, scored his team's first goal against Italian club AC Milan last month in the second leg of the European Champions League semifinals when the Dutch champions won 3-1. He also scored the last goal when South Korea defeated Kuwait 4-0 this month and made it to the World Cup finals for the sixth consecutive time. The transfer fee for Park will reportedly reach up to five million pounds (nine million dollars). PSV had previously confirmed that they had received an approach from the Red Devils but said they wanted to keep the player.
