Soccer's world governing body says Manchester United's Park Ji-sung is among 20 players expected to shine at this year's World Cup in Germany.

The April issue of FIFA Magazine said Park is not necessarily fancy but a reliable player with a challenging spirit and good teamwork, and is enjoying his time at United with his teammates and fans.

After the 2002 World Cup, Park and then national coach Guus Hiddink left for the Netherlands to join Dutch power PSV Eindhoven.
