Ji-Sung Park admits he didn’t know if he would make it at Manchester United Football Club.

The South Korean international joined the Reds from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2005, and it has taken him a little while to be classed as an important first team asset.

Sir Alex Ferguson has always rated the 29-year-old, though, who was rewarded for his performances earlier this season with a new contract which takes him up to the summer of 2012.

"I feel better about being at Manchester United " said Park. "When I first came I was a little bit worried that I would not be a success. But that always happens.

"You never know you are going to succeed until you have. I just tried to do my best and once I started training I totally forgot about my concerns.

"Now I feel quite confident. Mentally I am in a good place. The fans have also been supporting me. It makes me more assured about showing my ability on the pitch."
