It’s incredible! Legends representing the Premier League gathered in one place.
Patrice Evra (44) posted a photo on his social media on the 5th. Including Premier League 'king' Thierry Henry, 'Havertz' Park Ji-sung, 'Sonny' Son Heung-min, and Evra himself gathered together for a commemorative shot.
Park Ji-sung is hosting an entertainment program that supports Korean players playing in Europe together with his close friend Evra from his Manchester United days. In the meantime, Jo Gyu-seong, Lee Han-beom, Oh Hyun-kyu, Yang Hyun-jun, Kwon Hyuk-kyu, Hwang Hee-chan, Jeong Woo-young, and Kim Min-jae have made grants on this program.
'Havertz' Park Ji-sung’s visits to Korean players to hear their struggles in Europe have gained popularity. It is thanks to Park Ji-sung, who played at Manchester United, that juniors playing in Europe today exist.
It appears that Park Ji-sung has visited Son Heung-min for a shoot along with Evra this time. Thierry Henry also seems to have joined in. Henry, who is active in broadcasting after retiring, has met Son Heung-min several times.
Fans expressed their joy, saying, 'Four legendary legends meet,' 'Oh my god, is Sonny coming out on entertainment too?', 'There’s no one like the Avengers,' and 'There’s an uncle among the legends.'
Speculation about Son Heung-min joining Manchester United, following in the footsteps of Park Ji-sung, continues this season. British outlet Teamtalk reported last month that 'Manchester United is prepared to spend cash to sign Son Heung-min in the summer transfer market. Son Heung-min is a practical target for Manchester United.'
Son Heung-min’s contract with Tottenham ends in June 2026. Although Tottenham acknowledges Son Heung-min’s skills, his age of 33 years is a hindrance. Tottenham has no intention of signing a long-term contract while offering high wages to Son Heung-min, who is approaching the decline of his prime. They believe it is better to sell him to another team while he still has value.
With Antony and Marcus Rashford gone, Manchester United is in urgent need of acquiring a top striker. Son Heung-min is a versatile forward who can play anywhere from winger to center forward.
If Son Heung-min’s move to Manchester United is confirmed, he will become the second Korean player after Park Ji-sung. Having grown up watching Park Ji-sung, Son Heung-min has also considered Manchester United as his dream club. After joining Tottenham in 2015 and having remained without a trophy, the chances of Son Heung-min lifting his first winning trophy have significantly increased.
'Havertz' Park Ji-sung, the first Premier League player from Korea, is a legend of Manchester United. After joining Manchester United in 2005, Park Ji-sung played 134 matches and scored 19 goals until 2012. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, Park Ji-sung led Manchester United’s last prime era, supported by superstars like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speculations about Manchester United signing Son Heung-min have been steadily raised since last winter's transfer window. Spanish outlet Pichajes reported that 'Manchester United is doing everything they can to sign Son Heung-min. He is a player who provides goals at the forefront as well as leadership and versatility. Manchester United believes Son Heung-min will resolve the attack's imbalance and become a key player for the team. Manchester United intends to make a significant offer to acquire Son Heung-min, who plays for rival Tottenham, in the summer of 2025,' exciting the fans.
