The talented attacker will be given berth in the starting line-up against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson.
After a long running transfer saga, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364, finally sealed his move to Old Trafford in a deal reported to be worth around £17 million.
Manchester United turned towards the Japanese midfielder after failing to secure the Premier League title, owing to their brittle performances in the centre of the park.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394, who returned in January, is set to retire for good after the 2012/13 campaign, with Ferguson seemingly seeing Kagawa as his natural replacement.
Blessed with sublime skills on the ball and an array of passing skills, settling into the attack minded philosophy of the Scot shouldn’t be a problem for the former Borussia Dortmund man. He also arrives at his new club with a burgeoning reputation and a
desire to prove himself at the highest level, something which will go down well with the coach.
As far as training goes, much of the squad has been impressed with the 23-year-old and now Fergie has also reiterated his admiration for him and adding that he was going to be the line-up for the upcoming friendly game.
"He's been outstanding. His training performances have been very good. He was three or four days behind everyone else, but he'll play tomorrow."
The long serving United boss also likened the Asian play-maker to Ji-Sung Park, who parted ways with the Red Devils after almost a half-a-decade of loyal service.
"There are similarities to Ji-sung Park. They're both disciplined, they work hard. Also, they are good professionals and excellent to work with. There will be no problems with him settling into the club. What we identified about Kagawa is exactly what I'm
seeing now. The difference now is that our players are realizing his qualities. He's got quick feet, is two-footed and had a good goal ratio with Dortmund. He's doing very well,” he added.
United are currently enjoying pre-season in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
