Walk in Park: Ji-Sung has developed a useful habit of scoring in big games

Bayern Munich want Manchester United winger Ji Sung Park and are ready to bid £7million.

The South Korean is a popular figure at Old Trafford but ambitious Bayern recognise United are approaching a transitional stage and want to tempt them to sell and help fund their rebuilding.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he needs two players but privately there are concerns he will need at least four top level performers with question marks over Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Carrick, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, plus Owen Hargreaves still to prove his long term fitness.

Park, 29, has been a key figure in United's big games, scoring against Arsenal, Liverpool and AC Milan, but has endured fitness concerns himself following international matches involving long haul travel.

He is contracted until 2012 and only this week said he wanted to stay at Old Trafford for the rest of his career.

However, Bayern want to offer United a 90 per cent profit on the £4m they paid PSV Eindhoven for him in 2005 and that could trigger his departure.

United have their own targets in mind including Everton's Steven Pienaar, Valencia's David Silva and Sotiris Ninis of Panathinaikos but are still to determine their budget.

maybe its time to cash in on park and use the cash to buy silva.

7m, enough for the korean market?

MaNyZeR SG

PJS only 7 million?? That is unbelievable. I rate this guy highly and he cost only so cheap?? He should be in the region of 15-18 million. This guy is good, simply good!!!

dragg SG

is he really that good?

15 million pounds? i am surprised bayen even offered 7 million.

zocoss SG

Yeah, $7m is too good a deal not to take in my opinion... This guy is coming to 30 very soon and the best part of his game is his constant running but he won't be able to do that for very much longer therefore they should take the money and help pay for Valencia's David Silva...

Rock^Star SG

he hasn't really starred for united this season but on his day, he could walk into any first eleven in the world.

Bayern crazy or what..................only Korean ginseng worth buying lah.............

Park My Car not worth anything at all..................he can't sell T-shirts also..................

running around like a headless chicken can only get you so far...................Park Jee Sus might be good enough for Man U but he's not good enough for Bayern................

Park My Car can walk into any 1st 11 in the world ?

please lah..................in our very own ASS-League maybe lah...............

running around non-stop like a headless chicken is nothing new................Germany's Jen Jeremies did that in the 1990's..........

18 million Korean won maybe lah.................

what's so difficult grooming a player like Park Jee Sus..................just get a marathon-runner and teach him to kick a ball and tackle people enough liao............

the difficult part is teaching the runner to run around like a headless chicken like Park............

His posts all lacked substance. Just posting for the sake of post counts perhaps?

Anyway, i'd gladly take the money if i am Fergie. Park is close to 30 and this is the time where outfield players go downhill and where goalkeepers suddenly became damn good. Plus the fact that United needs some reshuffling and the money might come in handy.

hmm thot he extended his contract ???

sell ba go meet klose and ribery , olic and robben gomez

hmm maybe fergie does not intend to keep him because he doesnt have an effect on the team's morale the way the oldies like neville, giggs and scholes do. He's a humble guy though, no scandals, doesnt whine, just does his job.

CKeer SG

He's an asian ma. When was the last time you hear a scandal in sport involving an asian? (Jack Neo and Edison Chen have la. ). Some more he's playing in a foreign land. I think his only friend is Evra.

Extend contract then can get $7m lor... If he left only 1 yr where can get so much... lol.

Extend already then sell... Like Ben Foster, if never extend, he can walk away as a free player liao come Jun...

Chelsea should extend Joe's contract then sell him to Spurs for $12m or $15m... lol.

Free money...

it seems a lot of football fans are easily impressed with pacy players. there are many around; SWP, park, aaron lennon, bellamy etc.

i wouldnt go to the extend of saying they are no good. they are simply over-rated and even over-priced.

their pace definitely add to the excitement of the game - the main selling point of the premiership. but thats just it.

Rock^Star SG

park is an intelligent footballer and can be deadly between the middle of the field and the final third. He is able to split defences. Woh man, I don't know what you are talking about lol.

SWP I agree. Bellamy has superb technique which few british footballers have. And aaron lennon, besides his pace would be the perfect winger if he can send in more accurate crosses. He's working on it now.

Defenitely not as one dimensional as you have mentioned...

Rooney9 SG

maybe fergie can turn park into a defensive midfielder like hargreaves or fletcher, since his stamina is so good and can run up and down the pitch. another option for fergie if hargreaves is so injury prone.

Poignant SG

A good deal imo.
