Park Ji-sung’s new United pledge

Park Ji–sung is set to sign a lucrative new Manchester United contract during the early weeks of the season.

The South Korean's present deal expires next summer, but the 28–year–old has already proved his worth in four successful years at Old Trafford following a £2million move from PSV Eindhoven.

And although United chief executive David Gill has refused to put a timescale on negotiations, it is anticipated a new deal will be signed shortly.
