Wary of wounded Gunners

United may have emphatically seen off Arsenal in the Champions League, but Rio Ferdinand says the Reds will not be underestimating the Gunners in Saturday's league meeting.

Sir Alex's men need just one more point to secure an 11th Barclays Premier League title meaning a win or a draw will suffice at Old Trafford. Ferdinand insists United will have to work hard to gain the solitary point required against a Gunners side with a score to settle.

"Our performances in both legs of the semi-final were two of the best of the season," the defender told United Review. "But it can sometimes be a dangerous situation when you beat a team fairly convincingly and play them again soon after because they’ll probably feel they have something to prove.

"We can't allow them to do that and must focus on getting the result we want to win the title."

Seoul sold out

Public sales for the Kumho Tires Cup game at Seoul's World Cup Stadium began at 10am BST and all seats were snapped up inside 10 hours.

Half went in the first hour alone to Korean fans eager to see United and national hero Ji-sung Park in action. The winger was injured when United last faced FC Seoul on the 2007 tour, the visitors winning 4-0 in front of 64,000 fans.

It demonstrates the Reds' phenomenal pulling power across the globe and especially in Asia, where the world champions will play four games this summer.

The July 24 fixture against the K-League outfit is the third game on the trip, which also takes in Malaysia, Indonesia and China. Read the latest ticket news here.

Yong Kim, of local promoters Mast Entertainment, said: ”I am amazed at the enthusiastic support fans are showing for United and Ji-sung Park. I believe that the match will turn out to be one of the most memorable football experiences for many football fans in Korea."
