Bayern Munich are eyeing a close season move for Manchester United's South Korean international midfielder Ji-sung Park, according to a report from The Daily Mail.

The German giants are apparently readying a £7 million bid for the player, whom they see as an important part of their rebuilding process.

United may well be tempted to sell as they themselves are in something of a transitional phase and will need reinforcement in almost every area of the pitch as concerns mount over the fitness of men such as Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen, and the quality of players such as Michael Carrick.

Park joined United for £4m from PSV in 2006 and has established himself as a key performer after some concerns about the effect of long-distance travel to international matches on his fitness earlier in his career.

Although the Korean has stated that he would like to remain at Old Trafford for the rest of his career, Sir Alex Ferguson could be tempted to sell in order to fund the pursuit of some of his own targets.

United are believed to be tracking Everton's Steven Pienaar and David Silva of Valenica, as well as Sotiris Ninis of Panathinaikos.
