Park: For Man Utd possession is not of critical importance

Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung believes possession means nothing unless there is an end product in chances created. The Reds secured a precious away win at Stamford Bridge last week in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Chelsea despite only having 46% of the ball.

And this trend could continue despite the second leg taking place at Old Trafford.

"Possession is not important," said the former South Korea star.

"What is important is how many chances you create, or how many shots on target you have.

"The other team having the ball in front of us is not a big problem. We just watch and wait.

"If we press, then get the ball, we can play on the counter-attack."
