dunno about Park.he certainly got great ball control(just behind Roo and Carrick).besides he can dispossess ball from opponent without tackling

if he losses the ball he'll win a free kick

under SAF he do improve alot...
before he was just a good workhorse (no offense, its a compliment) but over his time here u can see he improve from ball control, crosses etc...

er....nop...'twas his brilliant performance for PSV and of cos his tireless effort on pitch that prompted saf to get him over from PSV. he's ball control + crosses are already there when he was in PSV. hence the nick "3-Lung-Park" by stretford end.

I don't think he "improved" per se. I always think he is good, I mean he's the one pulling all strings for PSV before, the main man. So he is comfortable with the reaponsibility. However, when he come to MU at the beginning, the "leader" role is assumed by others and thus he happily take the role of supporting player, or back up. But after a few seasons, SAF have more trust in him to give him in a more commanding role, as u can see how he often scores against the big teams. The biggest evident is against Wolves when the usual "leaders" are injured or not performing, he stepped up and won us the game with his goals.

He plays with more confidence now, that's all I'm saying. More confident to shoot, to dribble..few seasons ago he just do normal passing, probably scared to mess it up.

well at that time i didnt find him that impressive compared to now...
again its my personal opinion...

hmm maybe that's why...
good explanation 

was really impressed with his goal vs wolves...
and ya he always do well vs big teams...

Well, what can you do if you are spoilt with choices? We had Rooney-Ronaldo, then Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez and Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez-Berba. Now we're having Nani to step up and play consistently.

Park has been brilliant even in his PSV days. When you come to a bigger club, of course you won't be playing the 'STAR' card anymore. Plus, there are more talents than what they had for PSV. It's no surprise, really.

Ronaldo: Ferguson is best in the world

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson - branding him the best manager in the world.

The Manchester United manager spotted his talent and signed him from Sporting Lisbon back in 2003.

And there was no turning back.

Ronaldo collected three Premier League titles as well as a Champions League winner's medal during his six-year stint at Old Trafford.

Under the tutelage of Ferguson, Ronaldo developed into one of the best players in the world - leading him to win the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008.

A year later, he signed for Madrid on a world record fee of £80 million.

Speaking in an interview with publication Metro, the 25-year-old was probed to make a comparison between Ferguson and current manager Jose Mourinho and he was quick to give his former mentor the best possible accolade.

"In some ways, they are alike - they both have plenty of experience and have won all there is to win in football," Ronaldo said.

"The only difference that comes to my mind is that one is older than the other. I loved working with Sir Alex. We got on really well and today he is my friend. From where I am concerned, Sir Alex Ferguson is the best coach in the world."

The Madrid winger also spoke about his slow start to the season, where he failed to find the net for the first four games before going on to score 13 goals in 16 matches in all competition.

"My task has not changed. I work, I stay calm, and I let things come to me. It is true that I had to wait some matches to score goals, but from that moment everything has changed.

"This is proof that football is unpredictable. That is the situation I am experiencing now and I am happy for it. I hope it will continue like this."

Ronaldo went on to hail the effect of Mourinho at the Santiago Bernabeu and the players he brought into the club - particularly Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira.

"There is more discipline. Mourinho has adjusted the way that we play. He is a fantastic coach, and the titles he has won prove his value.

"[Ozil and Khedira] are both excellent players. They continue to surprise me, like they did at the World Cup. I love playing with them."

In conclusion, he was coy when quizzed on who he thinks will win the Ballon d'Or title.

"That it a hard question. We will see what FIFA decides this year."

Well, what can you do if you are spoilt with choices? We had Rooney-Ronaldo, then Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez and Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez-Berba. Now we're having Nani to step up and play consistently.

Fuuu our Great Dane vouched for Reina as United's keeper Lol

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel is keen to see Liverpool No.1 Jose Reina make the move to Old Trafford.

Schmeichel was a key figure in United's dominance of English football during the 1990s and the club initially struggled to replace the imposing Dane upon his departure in 1999.

A string of keepers came and went before the Red Devils settled on Edwin van der Sar, who has been a consistent presence between the posts since joining from Fulham in 2005.

However, Van der Sar has been tipped to retire at the end of the season after recently turning 40 and speculation is mounting as to who will be his successor.

Liverpool keeper Reina has recently been linked with a move to his current club's arch-rivals and there have been rumours that the Spaniard wants to leave Anfield.

Schmeichel believes United need to bring in someone of Reina's ability to replace Van der Sar and would not be surprised to see his old club bid for the 28-year-old.

Fits the bill

"I'm pretty sure they would go for someone like Reina, I'm pretty sure that's what they are trying to do," Schmeichel told Beyond The Pitch.

"You can look at talent, you can look at young, good players, you don't want that, you want someone that can go in straight away and give performances in 80 per cent of the games that the No.1 choice goalkeeper will play for Manchester United.

"Too many goalkeepers have been through in and out of the doors at Manchester United and I think now the general perception is, for this team to play well and win trophies, that position has to be someone who is of the very, very highest quality, but also with the right experience and that's why I think someone like Reina would fit the bill.

"The rumours are very, very strong around Old Trafford with this. A lot of goalkeepers are mentioned, but Reina seems to be the one that fits in the team and if he ever was to leave Liverpool, which again there is a big, big rumour he will, Manchester United would be a great club for him to come to.

"I hope that someone like Pepe Reina will go to United when Edwin calls it a day and I hear rumours that he is going to leave Liverpool so for him to go to Man Utd would be very, very good for us."

Manchester United full-back Rafael claims he has no problem with Carlos Tevez following their on-pitch bust-up on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old Brazilian squared up to Tevez during the Manchester derby at Eastlands in midweek, as City and United played out a dour 0-0 draw.

It was a rare talking point in a poor Premier League affair as, after a heated exchange, the pair were separated by referee Chris Foy.

Rafael insists that he has no problem with former Red Devil Tevez, and says it was merely a normal confrontation between a Brazilian and an Argentinian.

"This was normal. The rivalry is always fierce in a derby and if a Brazilian is against an Argentinian, even more so," he said in The Sun.

"I do not have a problem with Tevez. It's up to every footballer to defend his club 100 per cent.

"I am unhappy with the scoreline as we needed to win to leave City behind but I'm very content with my own performance."

United have the chance to get back to winning ways when they take on Aston Villa in the early kick-off on Saturday.
