In an engaging episode, Park also revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson reacted to his decision to leave the club in pursuit of regular football elsewhere.
The South Korean – capped 100 times by his country – played for United over a seven-year period hardly equalled in terms of its success in the history of the club.
But when he was overlooked for five consecutive games, he decided it was time to call it a day on his time at Old Trafford.
“In that last season, it was the only time that I missed five games in a row, without any injuries,” Park explained to UTD Podcast hosts David May, Sam Homewood and Helen Evans.
