EVRA EYES A KOREAN REPEAT

Patrice Evra would love nothing more than to find the back of the net when United meet FC Seoul at the World Cup Stadium on Friday (kick-off 12:00 UK time).

The Frenchman, who scored when the sides met in 2007, spoke exclusively to Red View in the Korean capital.

“I feel good when I visit this country," said Patrice. "People like me in Korea because I’m a good friend of Ji-sung Park so I always look forward to coming here. I’d love to score again but I know the most important thing is that we win."

Evra, Park, Zoran Tosic and Federico Macheda assisted Manchester United Soccer Schools coaches in training sessions with aspiring footballers on Thursday afternoon. And while the local players were undoubtedly pleased to see all four Reds, there was one man who stole all the limelight.

“When we arrive in Seoul you can see that Ji is the King of Korea!" said Patrice.

“They shake, they cry, they scream when they see him. It’s amazing. He’s like the David Beckham of Korea. I’m very happy for him because he’s a really good friend and on the pitch he always gives 100 per cent. That’s why fans love him.”

Q&A... ZORAN TOSIC

The Serbian international spoke exclusively to MUTV on the Asia Tour about his time at United so far and his ambitions for the 2009/10 season...

How have you enjoyed your time at Manchester United so far?
Well, I’m very happy to play for this club and I’m trying to do my best every day. I hope that in the next few games [during pre-season] I’ll get my chance and when I do I’ll try to play the best I can.

We’ve seen you play a lot in the Reserves. How has that been for you?
For me it’s important to play games. In the last six months I haven’t played for the first team so much. If I’m only training then that’s not good – you have to play. I’m happy to play a few games for the Reserves because it helps me keep in good condition and means I’m ready if I get a chance in the first team.

What’s it like travelling to the other side of the world and playing in Asia?
This is my first tour but I hope there’ll be more in the next few years. It’s very hot so the games are tough. We have to train very hard and it’s difficult in this weather. But I think it will help us for when we get back to England – it will help us prepare for the new season.

What are your aims for the upcoming campaign?
I’m trying to do my best in every training session and every game. I’m not thinking about how many games I want to play – I just want to train hard and take my opportunities.

What have you made of Michael Owen?
I’ve been watching Michael since I was a kid and I remember the goal he scored for England against Argentina 10 years ago. I’m very happy to be playing with him and the rest of the team. I’m happy for him because he scored on his debut and I hope that I’m going to score soon.
