Ji-sung Park admits he has FA Cup fever

He's already cups in other countries, but admits there's something special about playing in the world's oldest knockout competitions.

Ji-sung Park is relishing another opportunity to play in one of the world's most famous football competitions - the FA Cup.

"I've enjoyed playing in the FA Cup since I came to England," he tells United Review - the club's match programme for Sunday's visit of Tottenham.

"I know the FA Cup is bigger than cups in other countries and I want to win it because in my career I have already won cups in Japan and Holland."

The Korean star is back to fitness after nine months out injured, and the Villa Park Cup game was his second start this season, following his comeback match at home to Birmingham City on New Year's Day.

"My first start at Old Trafford after the injury was great," he says in the Review. "I felt fantastic, especially to see that the fans still remember me!"
