This is no walk in the Park, United

Park Ji Sung jerseys will continue to sell by the pasar malam-load. Queens Park Rangers will make inroads into Asia and Tony Fernandes’ airline will pursue its growth model in South Korea.

Many boxes will be ticked by the Manchester United midfielder’s switch to QPR, but almost none of them are football-related.

His loss can only hurt the Red Devils. In a parched midfield already starved of resources, why lose another?

Park’s move away from United appears to be motivated more by money – and the lack of it – than by a policy of midfield regeneration.
