Park Ji-sung: Not playing in five consecutive games made me decide to leave, and I was very happy to work with Ferguson

Former Manchester United player Park Ji-sung was interviewed on the team's official website today about the situation when he left Manchester United that year.

In the interview, Park Ji-sung said: "In the last season of Manchester United, I did not play five consecutive games and was injured. That means I'm leaving because I've been contributing. I could have missed up to three games without injuries, but five games in a row is too difficult for a player. So then I thought it was time to leave the team. ”

"In fact, at that time the team wanted me to stay in the team, and I talked to Sir Alex Ferguson. But it was the first time I had failed to play in five consecutive games without an injury, and some players probably knew I was leaving the team because that was the first time that had happened. It was tough, I was at a club for seven years for the first time, so it was the first time. ”

"Everything about me was there, friends, family, everything was stable. So I was very comfortable there, it was like home. But I had to make a decision because I was 31 at the time and it was probably my last move and signing a contract that ultimately pointed to the end of my career. Leaving was very, very difficult for me. Sir Alex Ferguson understood how I felt. He wrote me a letter, which I still keep. It makes a lot of sense, I'm grateful and I'm very proud to be a Manchester United player under Ferguson. ”

"I didn't talk to Ferguson face-to-face when I wanted to leave, he just said to me: 'I wish you all the best for the future.'" Then the details were all in that letter, and his grandson didn't want me to leave. We have a great relationship and I'm excited to work with him. ”
