Manchester United have confirmed they have 'agreed terms' for the transfer of highly-rated Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa from Borussia Dortmund.

Negotiations have been on-going with the 23-year-old for a number of weeks.

The deal, which is thought to be worth £12million, potentially rising to £17million with add-ons, is subject to a medical and work permit, although this is believed to be a formality.

The Japan international has established himself as a key figure at Dortmund after arriving from native club Cerezo Osaka in 2010, scoring 16 goals in all competitions last season.

He marks United's first signing this summer as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to bolster his midfield options.

with charmberlin as a deal sweetner! Wouldnt be a bad deal.
Fergie, get us Dembele!

That is why Manchester United will remain the richest club in the World. Kagawa is a very good player, also it is purely a marketing stretegy.

Remember Chicharito, we needed to keep growing the fan base in South America.

Good one from Manchester united another japanesse dude warming the bench

Those thinking Kagawa isn't good enough no nothing about football. Where was Robben, Ribery, Gomes, Gortez, Reus, Krross and other notable players in German Bundenliga when Kagawa was crown the best player? Listen you haters, for all I care, Kagawa will be great for United.
De Gea
Rafeal Vidic Smalling Evra/Baines
Carrick
Valencia Kagawa Young
Rooney Welbeck

Bench: Jones, Nani, Chicharito, Tom, Evans,
We only need maybe Tiote or Javi Matinez and maybe another left back, but I prefer Fabio, He is good.

who's this one, comout here joor, chei... manutd don suffer..even flops de comment. U sabi trap ball?

xyloxloto: AS a manchester UNITED fan like me i know its all gimmicks its a signing purely for marketing strategy just to make extra money from the japanese and asian market baba ferguson u try u do well anyway we need the cash good one

As a Manchester United fan, try take the time to research and compare both players. Just becuase hazrad's signing was hyped more than kagawa doesn't mean hazard is a better player. See statistics of both players, watch videos of both players performing on youtube, be more informed before openning that your annoying dirty teeth. And don't forget the fact that bundesliga is a more difficult league compare to ligue 1.

Dude, you're a shitty fan or another chelshit fan. A United fan will know that we lost the league due to goal difference, therefore the present squad can challenge for the title. Kagawa will put in the creativity we're lacking, so Rooney can play better anywhere in the pitch. GGMU!!!

megxo: joker.... if u need a combative midfielder, u'll find dat in d person of Nigel de Jong" ..... beta get modric n dembele o

Modric is good, but over priced, he doesn't cost 40m, and Kagawa is far far better than him. This guy was the best player in German League. Do you watch football at all?
