Park targets Wearside win




From Seoul to Sunderland... few United players have travelled as far as Ji-sung Park recently but the Korean won't complain if the result is right on Saturday.

The livewire winger just hopes the Reds can build on last Sunday's hard-fought victory over Aston Villa, a match he watched from the bench having just returned from national team duties with South Korea. He then resumed club action against Porto on Tuesday night, still only six days after playing thousands of miles away in Asia.

"It's always hard after international matches," Park told ManUtd.kr.

"It certainly was not easy against Villa or against Porto. But with four days between Porto and Sunderland, we will be rested, fit and ready.”

The weekend trip to Wearside in the Barclays Premier League will be followed by Wednesday's second leg against Porto in the Champions League. Whatever the competition, Park knows that only a win will do at this crucial time.

“Winning our last league match was huge for us, after losing two before that. This weekend’s game is another big one. I hope we can put together a winning run.

"After Sunderland, the most important thing will be victory in Porto. It was disappointing to give them two goals at Old Trafford but we can win over there if we prepare well."
