Park expects Kagawa to be a hit at Old Trafford

Manchester United midfielder Ji-Sung Park has stated that he expects new club signing Shinji Kagawa to be a hit at Old Trafford.

The Japan international joined the Red Devils from Borussia Dortmund this summer and is expected to give the United midfield a shot in the arm with his energy and skill.

Park feels his new team-mate will be a worthy addition to Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad.

“I know United have agreed a deal for Kagawa and I’m happy because we’re signing a good player,” Park told ManUtd.kr, translated to English by The Daily Mail.

“Manchester United is a huge club and every season we sign new, world-class names.

“I hope Kagawa shows how good he is next season and I think he will do,” he stated.

Despite the increased competition for places in the United midfield, Park has targeted a starting berth for next season.

“There is a lot of competition in the squad but it doesn’t matter who I’m competing with. We’re a team and I just want to concentrate on producing better performances.

“We’re starting our pre-season tour next month and those matches will help me to prepare for the new season.

“As always, when I begin a new season I am determined to improve,” he concluded.
