"Of course, there is pressure being with a team like Manchester United and pressure from the fans (in Korea) but I think I can overcome that and perform to expectations."

Ferguson said he will seek cooperation from South Korea coach Jo Bonfrere over leaving Park out of non-competitive internationals.

United's manager also hopes captain Roy Keane (hamstring) and defender Wes Brown (Achilles tendon) will recover from injury to join the squad for their pre-season tour of the Far East when they fly out on July 21.

"They have every chance of going on the tour," he said. "I'm hoping they will be back training next week and therefore if they are fit they will travel.

"At this moment in time it's quite positive and I think we will make a decision on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

United will play in Hong Kong, Beijing and twice in Tokyo.

"The preparations over the next two weeks are vital in terms of getting match fitness before we play the Champions League (third qualifying round, first leg) game on August 9 or 10.
