Why Park Ji Sung’s departure could be a blessing in disguise for Manchester United – English Premier League
Manchester United need an overhaul, this is the realization at Old Trafford after their disappointing loss to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Gill as well who has confirmed that the summer transfer window of 2010 will be a busy one for Manchester United as they will be looking to bring in some quality players in order to strengthen their squad.
After their defeat to Barcelona, Sir Alex admitted that Barcelona had raised the bar in club football and now it was Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 to close that difference and set a new benchmark. Whilst such a feat is difficult it is certainly not impossible for the Red Devils. However in order to achieve this mark, Ferguson will have to consider his options first of all.
Recent remarks by Park Ji Sung shed some light onto the transfer policy at Manchester United with regard to the present transfer window. United are out looking for players who will improve their squad but to create room for such players, others will have to leave. One of such players will be Park Ji Sung. The South Korean midfielder has been a faithful servant for Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson’s go-to player over the past two seasons.
His unending stamina has earned him the tag of four lungs Park but in all honesty passion and endurance is not a substitute for quality. Park is hardly an above average player, a player who is hardly Manchester United quality. Ferguson has been persisting with the South Korean since 2008 but United’s fans are now irked by the mediocrity that Park brings to United’s team. The former South Korean national team http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314 has now played in two European Cup finals for the Red Devils’ and failed to perform in both over the course of three years.
His place in the squad is now merely acting as a barrier for Ferguson. Firstly, his seniority is preventing any youthful talent to emerge through the ranks at Old Trafford as the likes of Thomas Cleverley and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 McLeish, maybe it is time for Park to move onto a different club.
Ferguson should put sentiment aside as he has done in the past and call it a day with the Asian midfielder. Park’s tireless attitude needs to be replaced by someone who provides Manchester United with flair and opens up defences on the wing rather than acting as a player of limited quality acting as a defensive option destroying the Red Devils’ style of play. To catch Barcelona, Manchester United will have to part ways with players like Park who are neither good nor bad just average. So the question that needs to be asked is that whether Manchester United aspire to be average or to be the best?
