(CNN) -- Park Ji-Sung will sign a new two-year contract with Manchester United, according to the English football champions' manager Alex Ferguson.

The midfielder, 30, has one year remaining on his current deal, but Ferguson is confident the former South Korea star will commit his future to the club he joined from Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven in 2005.

"He's been offered a new contract, yes," Ferguson, 69, told the Old Trafford team's official web site.

"I'm sure he'll sign it. His career at United has been nothing but excellent. He's a tremendous professional. I'm sure he'll accept a new offer and tie himself to the club for the next two years."

Park, who is in the U.S. on United's preseason tour, scored in the Red Devils' first two matches against New England Revolution and Seattle Sounders respectively.

Since arriving in Manchester, Park has picked up four Premier League titles and helped United become champions of Europe in 2008.

He won 100 international caps for his country and became the first Asian player to score at three successive World Cups with a goal against Greece in June 2010.

Park, who began his career with Japanese club Kyoto Purple Sanga, announced his retirement from international football on January 31.

Recently, tests have proved that Beethoven died from lead poisoning. Bill Walsh directed the Beethoven Research Project. Mr Walsh and his team examined pieces of bone belonging to Beethoven. They found a large amount of lead in the bone pieces. They said the lead levels were equal to those found in pieces of his hair in earlier studies of other scientists.

Genetic tests proved the bone pieces and hair came from Beethoven. The researchers also examined bone fragments( from someone else who lived during the same period. Both were from the top of the skull. The fragments from Beethoven had more lead than those from the other person. Their study didn't find measurable levels of cadmium or mercury , which scientists used to consider were the causes of his health problems.

Beethoven was sick for much of his life. He experienced strong stomach pains, a sign of lead poisoning, and a change of personality when he was around 20. He also got angry easily, and suffered from depression and hearing loss. His health problems became worse as Beethoven grew older.

Walsh said the lead levels found in Beethoven's skull suggested the metal might have been present in his body for many years. He said although there had been recognized cases of deafness caused by lead poisoning, there was no strong evidence to suggest that lead poisoning was the cause of Beethoven's deafness.

Ludwig van Beethoven visited many doctors to find a cure for his health problems. In a letter he wrote to a friend, he asked researchers to examine his body after he died so that other people would not have to suffer as he did.

Tony was riding his bike home from school. Then he saw Cindy riding her bike in front of him.

Tony yelled, "Hey, Cindy!" Then he rode faster to catch up with her.

Cindy said, "Tony! Hey! Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the empty lot on Maple Street to ride my bike. The other kids are going to be there. Do you want to come?"

"Sure," said Cindy.

Tony and Cindy rode to Maple Street, to the empty lot. The empty lot did not have a house on it. Instead, it had big hills of dirt, and it had trees cut down on the ground. There was a low part that became a pond after it rained. The lot had been empty for a couple of years, because times were bad and the builder couldn't find a buyer for another house. The kids had ridden their bikes over the hills of dirt, around the cut trees, and through the muddy pond. There were bike trails all over the empty lot. There were even places where the kids could jump their bikes.

There were three other children riding their bikes at the empty lot when Tony and Cindy arrived: Lana, Billy and Chris.

Cindy said, "I am calling my mom to let her know that I'm here."

Tony said, "That's a good idea. Can I use your phone when you're done?"

Cindy said "Sure! Keep it for now. I'm going to go on the jump path. I was scared to try it last time. I don't want to break my phone if I fall. I'm leaving my backpack here, too."

"Okay." said Tony. "I'll watch. You'll do good."
