I still fail to see what that has to do anything with Kagawa, but while you are at it, he was much better player for us than Kagawa, so of course people will cry more over him.

Play mata or Rooney or januzaj or di Maria or Herrera there.... I think we'll be okay basically. I love kagawa and think he never had a proper chance to prove himself but we were well covered there.
Much better? Hardly.
Play Rooney, Januzaj or Di Maria there. Shinji is a very talented player but he never fitted in at United, as has been said he didn't seem to fancy the physicality and he seemed to lose confidence in himself pretty quickly after a fairly promising start at the club. I hope and am sure he'll do well back at a club where he's comfortable but I don't think we'll notice any real loss at United because his contribution was fairly minimal.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Great debut for him, still only 1 game, so too early to say he is back, but happy for him now 
But but, I thought he was shite and not United quality listening to half the posters in this thread :/
Not really convinced by Januzaj, Rooney in the number 10 role, and who's gonna play midfield if Herrera/Di Maria go to the #10?
We'll sign more players in the summer. World class ones as well, if this summer was anything to go by.
Well, according to his team mate Kirch in the HT interview he speaks proper English now and the communication with him is better than ever. So thanks for helping us out with that and then giving him back for half the money we sold him for

We all knew he suited Dortmund's style of play...
Back to front quickly, playing pretty much as a second striker which less emphasis on him dictating play, etc..
Not much we could do. The best thing that could have happened was never signing van Persie.
Kagawa and Rooney (and Welbeck?) up top, playing with lots of movement. Focus on getting the ball from back to front quickly.
Not only would we have seen a better Kagawa, but also a better United probably.
Instead, we attempted to control games slowly, which half of the players couldn't do well, and pretty much stopped counter-attacking.
I really think it could have worked out, but oh well.

Kagawa is a good player in the German league. There was never any doubt about that. That's why we signed him in the first place.

Think he's a better player now too then when he first arrived. Obviously he wasn't great for us for many reasons but he bulked up a bit I think without losing his agility and I think he's matured overall more and he'll show it this season.Bargain of the century..
And even that is an understatement. We were stuck for 2 years with too many low footballing IQ people on the team, players and coaching staff alike, who all know feck all about fluid attacking football.
The way we wasted a player like him rather than build a new style around players like him was criminal.
He chiped the ball, and scored with bicycle kick.
It's ridiculous that people still blame the PL for being too physical for Kagawa. It was always the team(or rather Moyes) that was the problem.
You can give us Hummels then. And you can have him for half the price in 5 years.Well, according to his team mate Kirch in the HT interview he speaks proper English now and the communication with him is better than ever.

Blind, Herera/Di Maria, Carrick if he would be still around + i think we are allowed to sign CM next season
Somebody has uploaded Kagawa's match but Bundesliga have blocked it on copyright grounds. I don't think full matches should be shown but all of the touches by a player is fine, it's great publicity for the league and from these videos they might get more fans.
Remind me who decided to sell him again? Hint: it wasn't Moyes.
Despite some claims here - I still don't think its the physical play of the EPL messing with him. Under Fergie he looked getting better and better. Fergies retirement pretty much was what messed with him, because Moyes didn't know what to do and Van Gaal has a different philosophy of play.
First goal since the Norwich hattrick? Typical.
Looked like he was playing wide left from those clips
No, but it was Moyes who cut his playtime ratio in half, never let him start several games in a row, and then signed Mata... LVG didn't really have much of a choice. Also, if Kagawa wanted to leave(which I suspect he did), then I don't think LVG could have done much to stop him. I mean, it's not like he could tempt Kagawa with first team football now that we have Mata...
Classic Shinji.
Nope, he plays no.10, but he drifts out to both flanks regularly. That's what fluid football looks like.
Also, Kagawa wasn't the one who made the assist. He was the one who played the through ball.
That's what I keep saying. If the league is as physical as people it's still the 1980s/1990s, I doubt all those foreigners (especially Spaniards) would have found any form of success in England.
Please tell me you aren't being serious...
No, we have to wait 7 years now before another, else we'd loose our identity.Blind, Herera/Di Maria, Carrick if he would be still around + i think we are allowed to sign CM next season
He plays in his usual CAM position and drifts into the open space like he has always done. Interchange and a free flowing offensive formation have been trademarks for us for a long time.
EDIT: Großkreutz plays as the left midfielder on paper.
I see the fanboys are overreacting to him playing well against Freiburg in the fecking Bundesliga. 
Kagawa 2012/13 Vs 2013/14 in the league:
Don't remember there being a great deal of difference between his performances under Fergie and his performances under Moyes. And these numbers would seem to back that up.
I do think he was good enough to play for us, but for whatever reason, he *did* underwhelm in both of his seasons.
LvG has now decided to get rid, and that's probably because he thinks the alternatives we have are better.

I'm happy for him, such a shame he didn't work out here. Hope he can continue the form because an inform kagawa is a joy to watch.
He will do good there but even if he was given the same chances here I don't think he would be that good as Dortmund's system just suits him to a tee while ours is completely different.
Well, good thing he will have the chance to prove himself vs. a team from the mighty PL on Tuesday. You guys should have time to watch, right?I see the fanboys are overreacting to him playing well against Freiburg in the fecking Bundesliga.
Oh yes i forgot about that
Yeah, the fecking bundesliga where Dortmund and bayern are both better functioning teams then anyone else in the prem...I see the fanboys are overreacting to him playing well against Freiburg in the fecking Bundesliga.
Is it me or the same cnuts who spat on him in his United days are still in this thread?
I don't need to watch it, I have plenty of evidence of his failures in the BPL. Come back to me when Bayern doesn't run away with the title yet again.
