The Japanese International claims that he is thrilled by the prospect of playing for such a club as the Premier League champions.
After months of endless speculation, Manchester United finally completed their pursuit of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394’ throne in the centre of midfield.
As Borussia Dortmund’s creator-in-chief, Kagawa gathered a lot of plaudits for his sublime performances and helped the German side gather back-to-back Bundesliga titles.
While Mario Goetze gathered the headlines, it was the talented 23-year-old who influenced proceedings and won silverware for Dortmund, catching the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson along the way.
The Scot has lamented on many occasions that he doesn’t find any value for money targets in the transfer market, but it seems like the idea of Kagawa gracing the fabled Old Trafford turf appealed to him and he eventually secured his services in a £17 million deal.
However, the player’s move was subject to a work permit application and a medical, and after completing both, Shinji arrived in Manchester to truly witness the allure of the Red Devils.
While he did not stay long, he claims that the visit made a great impact on him and that he is excited by his future at the helm.
"First, I went to the training facility [Carrington], then signed at Old Trafford. Though it was a short stay, it meant a lot. It was a memorable day for me. There were many contracts to sign, which made me realise how big the club is.”
"What came to my mind was how exciting and tough a challenge this is, and how scoring goals at this stadium would make me so happy. United is a fantastic organization. For instance, the training facility is very well maintained. It is an environment I had never experienced before.”
"I was excited to see the stadium. I know this is just the beginning but I am glad I have made it to the starting point,” he said.
With the formalities of his transfer completed, Kagawa is expected to done the United jersey when the club starts their pre-season tour to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757.
