Midfielder Park Ji-Sung has backed Manchester United's latest signing Shinji Kagawa to become the club's next successful import from Asia.Park forged a solid reputation for himself as a player for the big stage after he signed for Sir Alex Ferguson from PSV Eindhoven back in 2005.
Kagawa has made the move from Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund to become the first Japanese player to move Old Trafford, and Park is convinced he will prove a shrewd acquisition.
"I know United have agreed a deal for Kagawa and I'm happy because we're signing a good player,'' Park said at an event hosted by his JS Foundation.
"Manchester United is a huge club and every season we sign new, world-class names. I hope Kagawa shows how good he is next season and I think he will do.''
The club have also secured the signing of promising midfielder Nick Powell from Crewe and Park says he is delighted with the competition for places in the middle of the pitch.
"There is a lot of competition in the squad but it doesn't matter who I'm competing with,'' he added. "We're a team and I just want to concentrate on producing better performances.
"We're starting our pre-season tour next month and those matches will help me to prepare for the new season. As always, when I begin a new season I am determined to improve.''
