It's been sometime since he have joined united. ? Is he one of the good players that we have now, just like Henize last season? How do you thinks?

For me, he's terrific. He makes great runs, he can dribble well and he generally causes teams lots of problems. His finishing could do with a bit of fine tuning to say the least but when he's running with the ball, he's superb. Should certainly be playing more than he is, not sure why Fergie doesn't play him more as he is one of our better players. Top player imo.

I think, like Heinze, he has shown a willingness to work hard and get involved. His work on the flanks is excellent at times... however there are occasions where he is musled off the ball to easy.

But my general opinion is that he will become even better! :thumbsup:

Possibly, I think the formations that SAF has been playing have meant that Park has not been included more than he should... also he has had a few spells out with injury. I think that with time Park will make his way into the team replacing Giggs, but the dude can operate on either wing!!

the guy should get alot more starts but Ferguson still picks fletcher on the right more often than Park
God I wish I could take a look into SAF's head and find out why he makes these types of decisions... but maybe because he is one of the most successful managers ever!

I actually feel that Park is our most potent 'playmaker' in the squad.

When given a chance in the Scholes position early this season he was magnifico.

Park has a great work rate, is very handy with assists, and is a real team player. It has disapointed me not to see him get more games this season.

Park and Rooney are the only two creative players Man Utd have really. He's looked very good so far for United but Fergies probably holding him back a bit so his transition is smooth. With Giggs and Scholes struggling these days Park might well be very important for United in the next few season. Although Fergie seems intent on signing more attacking midfielders than the defensive midfielders they desperately need.

park should be a starter on the wing for all our big matches. when hes confident, he can terrorise the best defences in the world, just ask milan.

Park is a decent player, but he'll have to work harder to cement his place in front of certain starters such as Darren Fletcher.
It's a tall order, what with Fletcher hitting such form this season.

I hear Darren's been tipped for World Player of the Year award, due to his courageous, mamoth performances in the United midfield, keep it under your hat though.

Fletcher and Park are 2 different kinds of player. One loves to play direct ball while the other loves to bring the ball in and than make a pass. But there is definite thing that SAF sees in Fletcher and that is he can actually hold the ball and make the pass to either wing.However, wonder if you guys have noticed, sometime the passes that he have made will end up with the opposition.

Whats the deal with PArk .. now that your midfield is even more crowded ..

He's been injured I understand .. but whats the status on him and his postion .. ?
Park will stay. He is energetic and can cover various positions, he is not a world class player but his attitude is great and performances more than merit a place in the squad.

PARK FACING LENGTHY LAY-OFF
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Park Ji-Sung could be out until January following knee surgery.
The South Korea international was forced to have an operation towards the end of last season and now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Park will be part of United's visit to Seoul later this week but, after landing in Tokyo for the first leg of his side's four-match Far East tour, Ferguson revealed the former PSV Eindhoven player will be a frustrated spectator for a while yet.


Even if Tevez manages to complete his move this week, he is not likely to join his new team-mates until they return to England ahead of the August 1 friendly with Inter Milan at Old Trafford.


Another absentee from the trip is South Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung, who will possibly be out of action until January following a knee operation.



Park will make a public appearance when United land in Seoul on Wednesday but Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed the 26-year-old former PSV Eindhoven star will be restricted to a watching brief for quite a while after undergoing surgery last April.



"He will not be available until December or January," said Ferguson.


"It is very disappointing news but hopefully we have the squad to cover injuries this year."



Of United's other current injury absences, Ferguson reported both skipper Gary Neville and veteran front-man Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should be back in training ahead of the season-opener against Reading on August 12.



Key forward Louis Saha will be out slightly longer, with Ferguson confirming it would be mid-August before he will be back on the training field at Carrington.



While Saha should feature for the Red Devils again, it appears Gabriel Heinze has played his last game for the club.



The full-back, who played alongside Tevez for Argentina in Venezuela last night, has expressed a desire to leave Old Trafford, with arch rivals Liverpool among those showing an interest.



It remains highly unlikely Heinze will be allowed to join the Anfield outfit, but Ferguson seems resigned to the popular defender's exit.


"Gaby's agent has advised us that he wants to move on," he said.


"I am not too sure about that and we do not have a concrete offer from any particular club.



"But there is some momentum regarding the player's next move in terms of through his agent, even if nothing is close at this moment in time."
