Park to play in United v Bayern Legends match

Ji-sung Park is the latest name to be added to the Manchester United squad for the Legends match against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford on 14 June.
The Korean fans’ favourite made over 200 appearances for the Reds between 2005 and 2012, winning 13 major trophies, and became the first Asian to play in a Champions League final in 2009.
Legendary captain Bryan Robson will lead the United side, which also features Park’s former Reds team-mates Edwin van der Sar and Paul Scholes, as well as Jaap Stam, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke and Louis Saha. However, Owen Hargreaves, who was due to line up for both of his old teams, will no longer be taking part in the game.
Another of Park’s ex-colleagues from his days with PSV Eindhoven, Mark van Bommel, is in the Bayern All-Stars squad, and fans can also look forward to seeing the likes of Giovane Elber and Dietmar Hamann, led by manager Paul Breitner.
"I never expected to play again at Old Trafford but sometimes good things happen," Park told ManUtd.com. "It’ll be an honour to come back.
"When I went back to PSV, I met Edwin and van Bommel, which was nice. But I’ve not seen Louis for a long time, since he left United, so I’m looking forward to catching up with him and the other guys again.
"It’ll be great to play against Bayern Munich – they’re a big club who are well known around the world. It’ll be an exciting game for me and the fans, and it’s all for a great cause."
