Man Utd star Park backing Celtic youngster Ki for Premiership

Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung has tipped new Celtic signing Ki Sung-Yueng to eventually move to England.

Ki has been in and out of the Hoops side since making his debut for his new club in January.

But Manchester United star Park has urged him to keep believing in himself.

Park, who also took time to settle at Old Trafford, was approached by Ki for advice when the latter was deciding whether to join Celtic.

Speaking after South Korea's 2-0 friendly victory over Ivory Coast at Loftus Road in which both men played, Park said: "He could make an impact in England too.

"I know him. He has ability and talent.

"He needs more chances to play. Sometimes he plays, other times he doesn't. It is quite difficult.

"Once he gets over that, he will show what he has got.

"I have spoken to him. I have phoned him and told him he can do this and he should believe in himself.

"He is good at passing. His playing style is like Steven Gerrard. He is tall, he likes to do long passes, he can shoot.

"I hope he improves a lot and he shows his ability."
