Former Manchester United midfielder Arnold Muhren is convinced Ji-Sung Park will have no problems adjusting to the rigours of English football.

Muhren's assertion is part of a glowing recommendation for Park in the wake of the PSV Eindhoven midfielder being linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Dutch champions PSV have given United permission to speak to the 24-year-old and Muhren believes the South Korea international could turn out to be one of Sir Alex Ferguson's best ever signings.

Muhren has been able to monitor Park's career in Holland from the vantage point of his role at the Ajax's Academy, and is convinced the South Korea international would be a hit at Old Trafford.

"If Park goes to Old Trafford then United fans would love him, because he is a talented player but also a tireless worker," Muhren told the Manchester Evening News

"He is an excellent prospect who will never let his team, his manager or his supporters down. He has a terrific engine and can run all day. His attitude is so positive."

He added: "When he originally came to Holland there were a lot of doubts about him and his early impact was very disappointing.

"It is not an easy step moving from Asia to Europe. Holland is a different country, culture and footballing style to what he had been used to.

"But as a nation the Koreans are very, very hard workers. They want to be the best and be successful at everything they do, and the way they go about that is by extremely hard work.

"That's what Park does. His workrate is unbelievable. You want to make a big impact when you go to a new club but Park didn't. Yet he didn't crumble.

"He just got his head down and worked harder to turn things around. If people criticise him he just works harder to prove them wrong.

"He appears to have a great character and, for that reason, with three years in Holland behind him I don't think the Premiership would daunt him.

"And neither would Manchester United. He would relish it.

"Anyone who saw him play for PSV against AC Milan in the Champions League semi-final would see what a superb player he has become. I think he is one of the best in his position in Europe now.

"The workload involved in a Premiership campaign wouldn't daunt him either. He could play two or three matches on the trot, let alone two or three in a week!

"If things didn't start that brightly then he wouldn't collapse and fade away. He'd fight back, and I'd have no doubts that he'd succeed. He has the ability and attitude to be the best."
