Park Ji-sung dumps United for QPR


Queens Park Rangers have completed the signing of Manchester United Park Ji-sung.
 
The midfielder signed a two-year deal which could potentially be worth £5m, will cost QPR an initial transfer fee of £2m.
 
The South Korea international made 133 Premier League appearances for United since joining the club from PSV Eindhoven in 2005, scoring 19 goals.
 
QPR manager Mark Hughes said: 'Ji is someone I've admired for many years.
 
'He's got great energy and technical ability and will bring so much to the team.
 
'I can't wait to start working with him because every report we've had about him as a footballer and a person, he's top of the pile, very motivated and still feels he has success ahead of him.
 
'It's a significant signing for us as a club and it's going to really help where I want to take the team and where the clubs wants to go as a whole.'
 
Park won four Premier League titles and the Champions League while at United.
 
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson praised the 31-year-old midfielder.
 
He said: 'He's been a fantastic servant to the club over the past seven years.
 
'He is the ultimate professional and such a nice lad and he never let us down on the big occasions.
 
'Unfortunately, I just couldn't give him the number of games he wanted.'
