    I’m into Korean football, so always interested in how MU are doing. Their new winter signing still hasn’t played, though.

      If you don’t mind me asking, why is there a link between the two of them? I’m follow CF Montréal so I just shared the info for the match because of that.

        Just that MU have two Korean players. One is Jeong Sang-bin - he played about a season and a half for Suwon in Korea (the team I support), and he was great. Then he got speculatively signed by Wolves and immediately loaned out to a Swiss team, where it just didn’t work out. Then he joined MU, and he’s done okay. I think he’ll have to return to Korea in the coming years to fulfill his military service.

        The other is Jung Ho-yeon, who was signed from Gwangju this winter. I haven’t really watched him in action, but he has been getting a couple of callups to the national team.

        There have been a few Korean players in MLS over the past ~10 years, but not that many.

          I see! I didn’t know that so I appreciate the info. Yeah there aren’t that many Korean players in the MLS, but the few I’ve seen have been pretty good.
