Manchester United’s Park Ji-Sung has admitted he fears he might
be nearing the end of his career at Old Trafford.
The South Korean is out of contract at the end of next season
and he has admitted that talks over a new deal are yet to even
begin.
Speaking to the News of the World, Park admitted he is
keen to stay in Manchester but also conceded he had received no
guarantees that this will be the case.
“I only have one more year left on my contract and there has
been no contact about a new deal yet,” he said. “I want to stay
here but we’ll have to wait and see.”
The South Korean also insisted that he was not going to let the
contract situation worry him and admitted he must do his talking on
the pitch.
“I’m not letting myself become too worried. I just want to
concentrate on playing well for United and, hopefully, we’ll talk,”
he explained.
“If I play well and show that I’m an asset to the team then
maybe I’ll get a new contract.”
Park joined United from PSV Eindhoven in 2005 but is far from a
regular in Sir Alex Ferguson’s starting XI, a situation he admits
he is disappointed by but appears willing to live with.
“It hurt me to miss the Champions League final, so to play in
the Club World Cup was great,” he said. “To be called a world
champion is amazing – a dream for me.”
