Park Offered New Contract

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has said the club have offered South Korean midfielder Park Ji-Sung a two-year contract extension.

Park, whose contract is due to end in 2012, retired from international duty in January to focus on his club career.

Ferguson said: "He has been offered a new contract, yes. His career at United has been nothing but excellent.

"I'm sure he'll accept the new offer, and tie himself to the club for the next two years."

Park, who scored in United's 7-0 victory over Seattle Sounders in a friendly on Wednesday, joined the Old Trafford club from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven in 2005.

The 30-year-old has won four Premier League titles and three League Cups with the English club and became the first South Korean to play in a Champions League final when the Red Devils lost to Barcelona in 2009.
