Ji-sung Park’s recent form has delighted Sir Alex Ferguson – but the United boss may be unaware of just how big a contribution the Korean has made.

The 1-0 win over Roma in Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg was the livewire winger’s 17th start in the last two seasons – and the Reds have won every one of those games.

His tireless running caused no end of problems for the Roma defence and he narrowly failed to cap an excellent night with a late goal when goalkeeper Doni deflected his effort onto the roof of the net.

It was the latest of several impressive displays that Park has made since returning from a long-term knee injury at Christmas to boost the Reds’ title tilt.

In his nine starts since the turn of the year, United have scored 18 goals and conceded none, a remarkable run which includes the 4-0 FA Cup win over Arsenal as well as the home and away victories over Roma.

“He has shown absolutely the right attitude and risen to the occasion when called upon,” Ferguson told United Review before Wednesday’s game. “This boy is a very good player.

“He is incredible in training with tremendous energy and it might just be worth pointing out that a couple of his recent first-team appearances have seen us beat Arsenal 4-0 and Fulham 3-0 with other wins when he has played like 1-0 at Derby and 2-0 against Portsmouth. He never lets us down!”Reds legend Paddy Crerand was equally fulsome in his praise of the 27-year-old.

"The team Sir Alex put out against Roma shows that the manager is utilising his squad," Crerand told MUTV. "It demonstrates the strength of the squad that United won 1-0 and made it through to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

"Park is the perfect example. He has done exceptionally well since he came back from injury, and he was excellent again against Roma.

"He is a player that has been out for a long period with injury. And when players are out for a long time, you sometimes forget how good they are until you see them playing again.

"Park has got great energy and his movement really troubles teams. He's a valuable asset to the team."

he really show what a energetic and good player he is since he came back from knee injury..surely one of favourate player

park is a great player for us, his recent form has been phenomenal, he really is proving that we didnt buy him just for the shirt sales as many people thought.

What i like about him is that he is hard working, reserved and intelligent. You never see Park complaining to the ref or running off to the media, he just gets on with it.

**ZEUS** · 04-11-2008, 01:25 PM

Park really deserves credit. He has demonstrated it in those two games against Roma. He really fought for every ball and worked a lot. I guess we will be seeing him a couple more times till the end of the season.

Anderson · 04-11-2008, 01:30 PM

i didnt realise his record was that good... doesnt fletcher have a similar record aswell?

kaihnsn · 04-13-2008, 12:16 PM

Yeah.. he gives a good performance since back from long term injury.

He is running like know nothing what is tired.

No wonders in Korea they call him oxygen tank

Yeah, and I think on the training ground they call him Three-Lung Park.

But it isn't just they he has tremendous energy and runs and runs. He isn't like a headless chicken tearing around after the ball, his running of the ball is very intelligent, and many times his runs are to draw running defenders away leaving gaps for other. Really good to have him back for the run-in.

Aye. I've been very impressed with his creativity this term. Last season it seemed to me that he was a lot like a headless chicken but this time he really looks like he knows what to do with the ball once he wins it. See assist for Rooney's goal against Boro as a piece of evidence.

Plus the one at Stadio Olimpico for Rooney's goal.

I think Parky has been tremendous for us since he arrived, remember he scored the winner against Arsenal in his 1st season...runnuing like a headless chicken???....i think he tracks back when ever he can, tackles with great effect, his positioning is second to none and runs into central positions, 1st touch is dope, and altjough his finishing can be improved, notice how he always gets into goal scoring position....after watching last seasons DVD and what he has done this season....i'd be very very curious to find exactly the amount of assits he has created...Great signing
