Man Utd send fitness coach to stick with South Korea star Park Ji-sung

Manchester United have sent a fitness trainer to join the South Korea squad to keep a check on Park Ji-sung.

United have sent a physical trainer to be with Park for the duration of the friendlies this week, but the midfielder denied it was a call made by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

"The trainer will arrive tomorrow. The national team doesn't have a physical trainer, so he can help me," he explained.

"This suggestion came from the physical trainer, not Alex Ferguson. But Ferguson agreed to allow the trainer to come with me."

South Korea are due to face Denmark on Saturday and Serbia four days later.
