Manchester United hero Park Ji Sung has enrolled at Leicester University.

The Daily Mail says Park has signed up on a year long sports management course at DMU to strengthen his depth of knowledge 'around the pitch.'

The 35-year-old, who spent seven trophy laden seasons at Manchester United from 2005-12, retired from the game in 2014 due to persistent knee problems.

Now the South Korean, a club ambassador for the Old Trafford outfit, begins his prestigious International MA in Management, Law, and Humanities of Sport, which is run by the Swiss Centre International d'Etude du Sport (CIES).
