Ranking the top 10 world-class foreigners to play for Manchester United

#9 Park Ji-sung

J.S.Park was an underrated player during his times

Honours at the club: 4 x Premier League, 3 x EFL Cup, 4 x Community Shield, 1 x UEFA Champions League, 1 x FIFA Club World Cup

Park Ji-sung agreed to join Manchester United in the summer of 2005 from Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven for a £5.85 million fee.

Though he was held in high regard by Sir Alex Ferguson during his times at Old Trafford, the South-Korean was pre-dominantly underrated throughout his career.

Functioning as a midfielder, Park built a reputation for his immense work-ethic on the pitch. He was often deployed as a defensive midfielder by Sir Alex when extra defensive steel was a necessity in big games.

He was also a tactically versatile player, capable of functioning as a winger in a three-man attack, apart from being a defensive midfielder.

While Park churned out many important performances for the Red Devils, his greatest was perhaps in the 4-0 drubbing of AC Milan in the Champions League in 2009.

The South-Korean efficiently negated the impact of Italian pass master Andrea Pirlo, who later praised him in his autobiography.

In I Think Therefore, I Play, Pirlo writes about Park as follows:

"The midfielder must have been the first nuclear-powered South Korean in history, in the sense that he rushed about the pitch at the speed of an electron."

Park left Manchester United to join Queens Park Rangers in 2014 with 205 appearances and 27 goals under his belt.
