Park sets sights on Treble

Ji-sung Park is determined to make up for lost time by helping United achieve glory on all three fronts this season.

The energetic Korea midfielder made his first appearance after nearly nine months out with a knee injury in the 4-0 home win over Sunderland on Boxing Day.

With the second half of the season underway, United are well placed behind Arsenal at the top of the league and face a home tie against Tottenham or Reading in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

And the Reds will be confident of winning next month’s Champions League last-16 tie against French champions Olympique Lyonnais, who sneaked through their qualifying group after conceding 10 goals in six games.

The optimism around Old Trafford has convinced Park that the current crop of players can improve on last season’s title triumph by emulating the achievements of the 1999 Treble-winning squad.

“I want to win all of the titles,” the 26-year-old told MUTV.

“Last season we won the league but reached the semi-final of the Champions League and the final of the FA Cup. This season we have a better squad.

“Compared to last season, we have more players and the new signings have done very well so far. We have a lot of quality players.

“There are more matches this season, so we need a good enough squad – but I know we have it.”
