United winger Park Ji-Sung has been named alongside Bolton's Lee Chung-Yong and Celtic's Ki Sung-Yong in South Korea's 23-man World Cup squad. The 2002 semi-finalists get their campaign underway against Greece on June 12th.
Park will be hoping to have a big impact as South Korea face a tricky set of group fixtures against Greece, Nigeria and Argentina.
Ranked 52 in the world, South Korea reached the tournament's semi-finals in 2002 to the aghast of critics.
They are unlikely to match those Guus Hiddink-inspired achievements this time around; but the performance of United star Park could be crucial in the country's bid to qualify from the group stages.
