Premier League 2024-25: Heung-Min Son Reflects On Admiration For Ji-sung Park and Mentorship From Van Nistelrooy

Heung-Min Son, who became famous in the Premier League after Tottenham, yet he cares a lot about United- mostly because he really admired United legend Ji-sung Park. Son’s long passion for Ji-sung’s present with United and his being inspired for the team has shown. Although having enjoyed Tottenham for nine years with an impressive record of having five goals in 19 matches played against United, including the unforgettable curling goal during their 4-3 defeat in the Carabao Cup, Son never got to join his dream club. It would have also been Ferguson’s wish to have been Friedel’s manager before. Now, however, the deal seems destined never to be realized.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy Recognized Son Heung-Min’s Talent Early

The stardom of the South Korean player Son began when he joined with Hamburg, where he was bonded in 2010. Also, in that year, Ruud van Nistelrooy-the futbol star from Man United- got transferred to Hamburg from Real Madrid. One year afterwards, it was seen that Van Nistelrooy was really keen on knowing talent when he wrote over the social media; “My teammate Son Heung-Min, massive talent. 18 years old … Watch out for him. Class!” So it’s not absolutely beyond hope that such a man is now ascending to Premier League management with Leicester City. There they will meet again on January 26, in a clash no one will miss: Leicester City versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Son Reflects On Van Nistelrooy’s Mentorship

Recollections of his days at Hamburg and a marked comment from the Man United icon, Ruud van Nistelrooy, were shared in a talk delivered by Son Heung-Min on a recent episode of TNT Sports. Son was 17 when he was first drafted into the first team, and the most remarkable person he met there was Van Nistelrooy, whom he immediately likened to a mentor or father figure; that despite a foot injury that prevented the Korean winger from enjoying rather promising pre-season workouts. When Van Nistelrooy said that they were going to wait for him, small and fragile Son wept pretty much openly in one of his post-training tirades; burstiness is reflecting the strength of compassion the striker carries. The tip and skilful expertise provided by Van Nistelrooy connected him with the younger Son’s psyche and spirit, according to the emerging player, as well as other things that the former manager of Man United will share with Son concerning re-naming the club, Leicester City.
