South Korean midfielder Park Ji-Sung says making his 200th appearance for Manchester United is "unbelievable".

The Seoul-born 30-year-old notched up his 200th appearance for the Red Devils as an 84th-minute substitute in Sunday's 3-3 draw with Chelsea.

Speaking to manutd.com, Park said: "It’s unbelievable. I never thought I could play for United 200 times."

Park, who was linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the past European summer, reiterated his desire to remain at the club.

"I’m really happy at the club, with my teammates, the staff and the fans," Park said.

"I love playing for United and have lots of good memories from my time here."
