Shinji Kagawa To Remain At Manchester United Despite Mata’s Arrival


Agent of Manchester United’s winger Shinji Kagawa has insisted that Kagawa would remain at United despite the imminent arrival of Juan Mata from Chelsea.

Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata would be joining Manchester United in this winter window after both clubs reached an agreement on transfer fees. This move is expected to bring some spark into United’s midfield and hopefully improve their position on the league table. This move however could spell an exit for Kagawa.

The Japanese international has been struggling to put up the stellar performances he had while at his former club Borussia Dortmund and does not have a regular place in Moyes’ starting lineup. His future has been the subject of several controversies and rumours has it that with Mata set to join Manchester United, Kagawa could well be on his way out of Old Trafford.

The Japanese international has been linked with a return to his former club Borussia Dortmund. Some aspects of the media are also linking the 24 year old winger with a switch to Spanish side Atletico Madrid.
Thomas Kroth, agent to Kagawa had insisted that the arrival of Juan Mata from Chelsea would in no way affect the player’s future. He told Sky Sports that.

“At this moment I ‘m sure Shinji will stay. There had been no contacts and so it is just rumours.  It is my opinion that he will stay” he said.

Juan Mata is a talented midfielder who would be playing in the middle of the park. Wayne Rooney and Shinji Kagawa also operate from that position. But with Rooney been so central to Moyes’ plan, if anybody must leave, it has to be Kagawa.

Shinji Kagawa has made just seven appearances for United this season and is yet to score a goal so far.

The question is should Kagawa leave to make way for the arrival of Juan Mata?
