Thanks park for all the great memories
Cheers for everything Parky boy.
Could be some sort of a hint I suppose. we are losing too much players at the moment.
Hope we get some good ones in return.
No matter what kind of season he had (and I’d blame plenty of his below par performances on the fact that he was used in an unaccustomed central midfield role because we didn’t have anyone else), it’s sad realizing that his United career is ending. Few players overachieved at UNited like him.
Ha. That looks fuck all like Rooney.
Fletch – Seems you were right mate.
Costas – Completely agree mate. I have nothing but absolute respect for Park. Top pro.
Sad day…3-Lung Tony just doesn’t have the same ring to it
Proper player, proper professional and a man Sir Alex trusted time and again to do a job. Nuff said.
Play well at QPR Ji-Sung. You made every “pundit” out there, suggesting at the time you were bought, that you were nothing more than an Asian kit salesman, look a complete fucking mug.
5m is excellent business.
I don’t think we should get rid of him but £5 million is too good to turn down and he has a year left on his deal and we know how good United are at handling contracts. If he does go we need to get somebody else in to replace him as despite his poor season last year I still think he has something left to offer United.
Was looking forward to seeing Kagawa and Park lining up in the same team at some point
I’ve just come on to say a big thank you to Park who was a brilliant player for United
I’ve also come on to say a big thank you to everyone here – I had laser eye surgery today and the flashing has gone down a bit – but scarring has to take place for the hole in the retina to completely seal off and for it to go back to normal.
I’d like to thank everyone for standing up – I sincerely appreciate it – and a big thank you to my very good friend Costas for passing on the message.
Ji Sung Park served the United shirt as courageously as the next player, for that it was a blessing.
We serve the United shirt with just the same passion but in our special way.
Thank you to all my friends for standing behind mine.
I’ll never forget it.

If it is true then good bye Parky. Thank you for all the memories lad. Two season ago, he was THE big game player, first name on the team sheet. A thorough professional and a loyal servant to the club. All the best in your future endeavors Parky.
Wait……does this mean we Are we getting Joey Barton in return?
All jokes aside, thank you Park for all the unexpected goals you scored. Thank you for your work rate. Thank you for your services. You’ll be remembered.

real shame if the lads moving on last season was the first he did’nt feature or shine like in previous years
alwayss remember his performance against chelsea 2011 in the title decider at our place he was fucking amazing that day his tempo and workrate were the best id seen in a united shirt 4 a long time
think he still has something to give fantastic pro
as the song go’s sell him and you will have a fucking riot on your hands!!
Who the fuck drew them?
Great servant to united big game player always gave 110%
Good luck
Never mind Hanover, they must’ve been hungover!
Great player a player we could always rely on in big games always have 110% great engine sad to see go good luck
Really sad to see him go if true, just one of them players that has a special place in my heart…..
I saw him make his debut in a pre season game @ clyde and from that day till his last he always worked his heart out for us and the red shirt and for that ill always love him but I think now is the time to bring more quality in or give one of the young lads a chance ( more than likly the latter) but its still sad to see him go.” Park park who ever u may be”
I’d just like to thank Park for all the good memories – time and again, he came up with the big performances against the bigger teams – good luck to him!
Looks like this is genuine. People who work at MUTV are talking about it.
Have to say it’s good business by all concerned. £5 million and 70k off the wage bill for a player who sadly had nothing to add to the team anymore. QPR still get a good player and an exemplary role model. After our shambles at the Etihad I was pretty sure that’d Ji’s last game in our shirt, he’s just no longer got the three lungs we loved him for and technically he’s never been world class. Seems like we waited for the kit to be out for a while before selling him so shirt sales wouldn’t be affected. Shinji will more than make up for (and add to) merchandise in that part of the world.
He’s been the ultimate big game player. Monumental for us in huge European games. Absolute great player he’s been for us. If it’s true he’s leaving then I wish him all the best. Top player and a top man.
Cheers, Ji
King Eric. Cheers mate.
OFF TOPIC:
Any truth to the rumor that bwin will be our shirt sponsor in 13-14?
Not so sure myself and starting to wonder if this was a twitter rumor that started from the release of the simple news that bwin was our gaming sponsor?!
Bwin is a sponsor, but there is nothing about Official “Shirt” Sponsor. Anyone?
http://www.manutd.com/en/Club/Sponsors.aspx?sponsorid={E65D76D3-2252-45E9-9C3A-202FFBF6646A}
echo the sentiments top professional with a great work ethic, scored some memorable goals too, credit to the red jersey, good luck 3 lungs
Last season was the last straw for park, all his flaws were out there for all to see. He mainly relies on his energy and that has drained. 5million for him is great business, if this business is sanctioned then good fortune to you ji.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I feel the urge to smack the face of people who keeps blaming Park n this forum greater than before.
Shame, I always lived the park conducted himself – Class personified
BBC Sport @BBCSport
Queens Park Rangers agree deal to sign Park Ji-sung from Man Utd for a fee in the region of £5m, via
@BenSmithBBC #bbcfootball #mufc
So long Park! Loved your work ethic and attitude for the team.
150% 200% of the time. You figure it out!
fletcher thats more than what we paid for him to m8, b sad to see him go:-(
Ji Sung Park,
You are very appericated over here, if this is true.
THANK YOU and good luck, In a better world you would be still here and showing your art at United, but this team is going in a change so slowly getting rid of some of the players.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. You will be remembered as a standout player for the big games.
Ferguson signed Park for £4 million in July 2005.
Sold in July 2012 for £5M.
If that doesn’t say volumns about Park, don’t know what else does.
Owen ….. Released
Kusczeck …… Released
Berbatove ….. unknown.
Park 31yrs old ….. £££££££ !
Park Ji Sung: joined United in 2004 for £4 million, now being sold for £5 million at the age of 31. Not a bad deal.
He spent 7 seasons at United, with 205 appearances and 27 goals.
He won 4 EPL titles (more than all Liverpool players combined), Champions League, League Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and the Charity Shield with United.
Thank you for your loyal service and endless, tireless efforts at United. A down to earth, model player I must say. Good luck.
being reported now 2 million not the 5 like some claim
our chubby ando will be next who will be shown the door. or maybe 2.
you never know how many he needs to get through.
Sad to see him go -his workrate was world -class and he mostly kept hold of the ball well -with a few goals thrown in. If it turns out to be 2 mill only -that’s a p*sstake imo.
£2m? Fucking hell that’s crap if true.
Thanks park for all what you have done for manchester united.. you will never be forgotten #LEDGEND
Sad to see Park’s United career is over. I think Park endure a lot of hardship in this team and never enjoy an easy ride. As a South Korean, I think he can play a bit longer but It seems to me Team is packed with so many wide men so no more game time available perhaps.
Park shouldn’t came to United because he is not a typical wide man and he has been played not his proper position through all his United career as a defensive player.
I guess Park will surprise a lot of fan, if team allow he as a attacking role a bit more. Thank you for your effort Park.
I feel like I’m going to cry. Something about this guy was just so, how should I put it… magical. The amount of effort he put in, the way he always talked about United, the way he silenced his critics and the way he would play in the big games. Everything about him just made me love him more! So sad to see him go, was Mr. Reliability himself. Hope he has a good end of his playing career, I’m guessing around 5 years to go. He’ll never have the success he had at United, but hope he can retire while at the top of his game, whether that be in the Premier League or somewhere else. Wish this man all the best!
So long 3-lung Park!
Very sad to see him go, he has been a fantastic yet under rated player. Loved his enthusiasm, dedication and work rate, not to mention his big game goals and the look of joy as he celebrated.
Good luck Ji.
That’s the last time i put a player’s name on my shirt, first Hargreaves and now Park…sorry guys, won’t do it again!
Park: I’ve cheered him, loved him, blamed him. Cried out YES and NO!
What a time he had here? 10 medals at least in 7 years. Som classy goals a bit like Robbo. Always worked hard. Very good in 2007-08. He should leave with pride and be remembered foundly.
I think though, that this is the right time. Hes “worth” more than 2m. 5m is great business. 3,5 then?
Willie’s comments about the pictures
State of Chicharito… he looks like something from a horror film. Deary me.
Fucking gutted.
Pogba and Fryers left out of choice.
I somehow think that Park would have preferred to still be with United.
SO sad to see him go.. thank you Park!! =(
TTTWD – I agree. I’m surprised there aren’t any big clubs from the “lesser” European leagues, let’s say Turkey, France, Greece, even Italy for example, interested in a player of Park’s calibre and, I’m sorry to say, his commercial potential. That’s why I said he must want to stay in England.
Sorry but are losing one of the best ever songs Utd sing. Apart from that I’m quite glad he is going fantastic attitude but come on his passing was poor, created nothing & couldn’t score. You could hear people when he got the ball telling him what to do. Oh and he fell over a lot. But worked so hard and was happy to sit on the bench. Hope we promote a kid to replace him as a squad member. Good luck & it could be worse you could be scouse…..
This is a sad day for the United family. I miss the lad already.
SB
Last season was the first ever season for Park NOT wining any cup for his whole career. His career start from Japan 2nd div team. For every single season, Park managed to win something, He didn’t played at all last season, imo.
His work rate compensate lack of biting power in the middle at least couple of seasons in CL. His NT performance actually better than most of United peer even though Park played for minnow NT team.
He will do well in QPR. Age catch up him so it is natural thingy.
I am absolutely gutted, Park was a wonderful player for United. He didn’t have the best season last year, but still managed to score at Anfield despite barely being used.
His winning goal against Chelsea in the Champions League and the way he dominated them in the title decided to help clinch title 19 must not be forgotten!
We have lost the ultimate unsung hero :’(
Class player. Class teammate. Class person. Fare thee well Ji Sung Park.
Is Scott Parker can ever finish with either foot, pass, create space off the ball with intelligent movement, tackle, man mark, make his first pass FORWARD instead of backward or run hard a full 90 minutes he MIGHT be half as good as Ji Sung Park.
He is still my oldest daughter’s favorite.
Cheers Ji for all the good memories. Not gonna compliment him as everyone else has pretty much taken care of that but i will say that financially it does make sense. A player on 70k a week barely even playing needs to go so we can cut our wage bill and invest it in something more useful. Also the place in his squad can be given to a promising youngster. We should always focus on promoting our youth!
i’ll be curious to see how they use him at QPR. park was a little pigeonholed at united as a “hardworking”, “energetic” player, which sometimes didn’t give him enough credit for being a technically and tactically proficient player. i always enjoyed watching him play for south korea, where he had a much bigger role, and was the main attacking threat – almost a nedved-type player!
So Three Lung Park is leaving. Who is going to score our goals against Arsenal? He was a player always trusted for the big games and QPR do themselves a world of good by adding him to the squad.
Using him correctly would help them in their bid to stay in the BPL. Fabio seems to be have a buddy already at QPR during his loan period.
Good Luck Park. Thanks for all the goals and all the hard work performed in the midfield for all these years.
An Asian hero who dares to dream. Salute! Thank you Park! Foreva a Red!
Will miss this tireless team player, but if he’ll be able to help QPR hold a 2-goal lead with 5 minutes left, I’m all for it.
Park has been a fantastic signing, 4 titles and a champions league in 7 years is brilliant. I am a sad to see him go and hope the Guardians article is wrong as it suggests we are selling for 2 million. I think he is worth more.
We have been trimming the squad quite considerably so hope we can bring in one or two more as we still have giggs adn scholes who are obviuosly not going to play every week.
From what I can see a defender is a must now, especially with Fabio on loan and Vidic not certain to fully recover. There has been talk of Baines but dont know how good he is as I nver watch Everton.
Also, we surely need another central midfielder adn I worry if Valencia/Young or Nani get injured we may be weak there too.
Thank you park. As an asian I am very proud of his efforts and contribution. Top bloke. Never in a wrong news or in any controversy. I can bet he will be always remembered by every true fan of manchester united.
On a positive note 5 million is a hard offer to turn down and more than that park wasn’t going to play an important role in coming seasons. I am happy he is going on high.
And this should mean that we are buying atleast one mid fielder. Maybe two if anderson also leaves.
Arsenal will be glad that he is leaving. Always seem to score against Wenger XI. Party time for wenger then
This is a win-win situation. Those that didn’t quite like him will be glad to see the back of him. Those who love him will now get to see him every week even if its in a QPR shirt. So there.
If Park had been in that QPR team instead of Barton, we would be the champions now.
What now for Evra? His best buddies Tevez & Park gone!
Anyway, good luck to Park, QPR had better take points off City & Chelsea next season!
Sad news. Gotta admire the man – united through and through, and put in top performances and brilliant goals. Milan, arse and the chavs. Most recent memory of his scoring that brilliant last gasp goal against wolves. All the best, Ji – wish there were more like you.
Always loved the player, thanks for the memories Parky. Will always be remembered.
Hope we sign left-back thou. Now i can’t force myself to being humble on that one.
Bloody hell.
Could be worse, could be scouse…
Can’t say I’m dissapointed to see the back of park. Sure he gave a lot of effort and was a great professional. But we have a squad full of these characteristics. In reality we are loosing a player whos second touch was always a tackle. I remember my dad being chuffed that he started. against barca in thefinal, sayin that he will win us the ball. But surely when you win the ball its an advantage to keep it.
No loss in my opinion.
this is my first post after many years reading this blog. i feel that i must share this…
here’s a Korean variety show featuring the shy, humble and hardworking Park in his native Korea:
http://www.epdrama.com/running-man/running-man-episode-96/
we only miss what we had after they are gone….
All the very best Park. If anyone deserves acknowlegdement and appreciation for contributions made , it’s definitely you. Thanks for everything Ji.
elhair – passing poor, never created and scored? Yeah ok pal.
Park and Anderson out, Kagawa and ? in. Not really an upgrade other than age and hopefully injury wise. I understand Baines will go through. To me it seems like our season hinges on TC and Petrucci actually contributing and being players. It has happened before.
Very sad to see him leave if it’s true
love Park
Vilhem – Kagawa will be a big upgrade on Anderson pal. I have a feeling sadly Ando won’t be sold. Surely he has had enough time now.
Love Park & sad to see him go. He’s like a first cousin, always around at family gigs and got a job so we see him only twice a year.
Is the 1st picture Gary Birtles?
mancdub did u see him score
i love seeing the shit some of our current boys get when you think Mr Birtles went 30?? games without bagging
fuck a duck they would have something to moan about
my favourite was terry Gibson!!!
shame to see Ji Sung go, been a fantastic player for Utd, I can only hope that Kagawa is as successful at Utd.
Does the loss of Park and Fryers now mean that we can expect 2 more new players before the start of the season, another midfielder and a LB?
Ha. Gary Birtles. It does doesn’t it.
Stretfordend ole @ 12:59: “Does the loss of Park and Fryers now mean that we can expect 2 more new players before the start of the season, another midfielder and a LB?”
That would be an entirely reasonable inference – and when taken together with SAF’s statement the other day (about “one or two things”) then I’d think that whatever is in the works is just about completed so it will be announced soon.
Baines and Moutinho. YHIHF.
@ Fred @ Denton Davey,
Baines and Mountinho coupled with the return of Tom Cleverly and hopefully Anderson getting a full no injured season who give Utd a decent midfield. Lets hope these deals are close to being finalised.
I think Anderson has used up all his chances now. He’s had 5 seasons to prove himself and has failed to do so. Time to cash in, preferably as a makeweight in the Moutinho deal 8). They still love him at Porto, so I’m told.
Thanks to Park, played his socks off for United, wish him well in the future…..
LOL I hope QPR give him reinforced socks.
Scan 74
Terry Gibson was only 3 foot tall
I saw Alan Brazil score a hat trick once.
It was a friendly away at Bradford in about 84.
Uncle Fester stuck 3 in.
Fred @ 13:30: “Baines and Moutinho. YHIHF.”
Maybe – not so sure about Moutinho, though.
My guess/hope (!) is that the guy at Benfica that would come back to UTD would be Axel Witsel, a Fletcherinho-type of box-to-box snarler. NoFletch/NoWin.
For LB, it sure seems that all the signs are pointing towards Baines – not many left-footed, LB options.
Hopefully giggs and scholes go now along with anderson and wellbeck ..
I have to say, my gut feeling is that there will be no more arrivals this summer.
Brandan
You scouse bin dipping fuck………..You fool no one here
park park were ever u may be we will all love u at mufc
ideally i’d like to see may be 2 more centre midfields and left back added to the squad
mancdub ha ha yeah thats right a little fucking ompa loompa lot of shite if memory serves
cannae believe u saw brazil bag 3 if i remember he didnt fare 2 well at ours either
ahh big ron those were the days no of this title winning bullshit and champions league finals
stormin norman beauty 2 win the cup was the highlight back then buddy!
Three lung crying here
(( – Park I will miss you, thank you thank you thank you, you will be loved and remembered a true United player
Lets see who comes in to replace Park ???
Hope Fergie doesn’t give us bullshit abt no value in txfer market to get a utility player.
i am nut happy that you left us but no problem if man die woman born another we wish you goodluck at QPR be happy we love you with kagawa we are ok
Great article on the Park song from ex season ticket holder:
http://www.afinelung.com/?p=4394
All you wannabe fans, who spout your bin dipper bile as if it makes you more of a fan, should especially take note!
Park Park….wherever you be….RED!!!
Park leaves, so do I. Bye Manchester United FC.
It is confirmed. QPR reveiling Park now.
