Who will Argentina turn to without Lionel Messi? Kagawa's first two seasons at Signal Iduna Park coincided with two of the most glorious years in the club's recent history: a Bundesliga championship triumph in , nine years after their last, and a domestic double - the first in BVB's history - in He scored 21 goals in 49 league appearances, and in a final act of brilliance before his departure, netted the opener and assisted another in a win over Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup final.
Sir Alex Ferguson, legendary coach of Manchester United, was there to witness Kagawa dismantle Bayern and he made the midfielder a Man Utd player that summer. Shinji is back in surroundings where he feels like a fish in water," Ferguson commented. Japan had impressed at the Confederations Cup a year before, but took just one point from games against Greece, Colombia and Cote d'Ivoire. This is not the end of my career, so I want to make the best of this frustration and disappointment," he said candidly.
This club are like a family and I'm happy they never forgot about me. A better script couldn't have been written. Returning to BVB has meant he is now once again face-to-face, and side-by-side, with compatriot Uchida. I thought it was Shinji's best game in my time here. He hadn't really found his feet yet but I saw something from Shinji tonight which I hadn't seen in other games, so I was really pleased.
His effort when we didn't have the ball was fantastic. That doesn't exactly scream of a manager who views Kagawa as one of his key players, does it? Regardless, the only way that Kagawa can persuade Moyes that he deserves a starting role is to put in performances of that ilk week in, week out. Looking Ahead. In the short and long term, it remains to be seen how Kagawa will make his impact at Old Trafford. Every Manchester United fan wants him to succeed, but fewer are prepared to recognise that he perhaps never will.
And that brings us on to a talking point, one which will no doubt divide opinion. Namely, one Ilkay Gundogan? And so, if it comes to light that he forces a move away, then why not act now in January? Rarely are the better transfer deals done in the middle of the season, but this is a very unique situation. United have a fantastic player on their hands, but one who looks destined to see his potential go unfulfilled in Manchester unless things change quickly. Enjoy our content?
