Soccer-Man United's Park fit for South Korea friendlies

SEOUL, Nov 12 - Manchester United's Park Ji-sung
has declared himself fit ahead of South Korea's friendly
matches against Denmark and Serbia over the coming week.

The South Korean captain told reporters he had sufficiently
recovered from a knee injury to play in Denmark at the weekend
and face Serbia in London next Wednesday.

"If possible I want to play in both matches," Park told the
Korea Times on arriving in Denmark.

South Korea looked to be on a collision course with
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson over Park's call-up for
the national side.

The English champions have sent a team physician to work
with Park.

"This suggestion came from the physical trainer, not Alex
Ferguson," said Park. "But Ferguson agreed to allow the trainer
to come with me."
