Man Utd favourite Park Ji-sung: Ole the right man for job

Manchester United favourite Park Ji-sung insists Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be a success as manager.

After a stunning start as caretaker boss, the Red Devils faded in the closing stages of the season and missed out on the Premier League top four.

But Park is nonetheless backing Solskjaer to prove a hit in the long run at United.

"I believe he was the best man for Man Utd at that time," Park told Goal. “He was interim manager which was a very good option for both the club and Ole because they both have an opportunity.

"Ole was different in the way he watches football. When he was watching the game from the bench, he was always thinking about 'how can I change the game when I get into the pitch'.

“It's not an easy way of thinking, and I believe it was a perfect attitude for every player."
