De Montfort University in Leicester could soon be boasting an impressive addition to their football team.

Manchester United fan favourite Park Ji Sung has signed up on a year long sports management course at DMU to strengthen his depth of knowledge 'around the pitch.'

The 35-year-old, who spent seven trophy laden seasons at Manchester United from 2005-12, retired from the game in 2014 due to persistent knee problems.
