Park Ji-sung back for Man Utd before Christmas

The South Korean hasn't played since picking up a serious knee injury in March.

After an operation in April, Park's recovery is now complete and he is now back to full fitness.

"At the moment Park Ji-sung is training with the first team squad," Sir Alex Ferguson told Manchester United radio.

"If we wait just two weeks then we can see Park return to action," the coach continued.

The player himself is raring to go.

"My recovery period has gone so smoothly," said the ex-PSV Eindhoven star.

"Because of that, I will be able to return to action sooner than expected."

"United are getting good results at the moment and it feels good to be back. I just want to play my best when I return," said Park.
