Man Utd star Park admits attention from Asian fans can be unnerving

Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung admits the attention he receives from South Korean fans can be unnerving.

The reception Park receives when he goes home would rival anything David Beckham can generate in the UK.

He admits it can be slightly unnerving at times, although he finds earning his living half a world away provides a pretty significant buffer.

"Everything I do is watched," he said.

"It happened before I came to Manchester United but once I got here the scrutiny because even greater.

"All the games are live and lots of people watch them early in the morning.

"But when you are in England it is easy to deal with the attention. The people in Korea can't chase me all over the place here.

"I don't notice how excited they are. I can deal with that."
