Shinji Kagawa desperate for Man Utd game time

Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa has told the Japanese media that he is becoming more frustrated with a lack of playing time at Old Trafford. Borussia Dortmund have been linked with a transfer move for the player.

The 24-year-old has only managed to play in half a game so far this year in the Premier League, and after Japan's 1-0 defeat to Belarus, the Manchester United player ventedh is frustrated to the press.


"Personally, I felt strongly after these two matches that I need to play more and, as a team, there are many things we need to do. So we all need to go back to our European or J-League clubs and take what we learned in these two matches and work to fix those problems," said Kagawa.


"There's a matter of fitness and there's also that atmosphere of playing for my country. It's different from the atmosphere at United, but you still get a good feel for being on the pitch when you play regularly.


"Maybe it's because I'm not used to being on the pitch of late, but I didn't feel like I was able to enter these two games properly. During tough times like these I have to improve myself."
