PARK Ji-sung has agreed a contract extension that will keep
him at Manchester United until 2012.
The agency responsible for negotiating Park's contract, JS Limited,
confirmed the news in a statement released in Asia.
"Park and Man United agreed on a three-year deal. The contract will
expire June 30, 2012. But we can't reveal the salary due to a
mutual agreement," said the statement.
It was widely expected the 28-year-old would remain at Old
Trafford.
Park joined United from PSV Eindhoven for a modest £2million in
2005, and the South Korean star has proved to be a valuable member
of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad.
He was involved in last season's Champions League final - after not
even making the squad 12 months previously - and featured in 25
matches during United's successful Premier League campaign.
During the Reds' Far East tour this summer, Ferguson confirmed his
belief that a deal would be done with Park, whose wages are
estimated at around £65,000-a-week.
It is widely anticipated United will confirm the news themselves in
the near future.
