Manchester United midfield star Shinji Kagawa has been left frustrated at the lack of first team football he is getting at Old Trafford.
David Moyes has only played the Japan international for a seven minute cameo against Wigan in the Community Shield at Wembley, he has not played a single game since and is struggling on the fringes of the squad.
Shinji Kagawa signed from German outfit Borussia Dortmund in 2012 for a fee worth £17 million. Kagawa joined United and was expected to be a future star as both a leader and creator in midfield.
The Japanese international scored in Japan’s 3-1 win over Ghana and he took the opportunity to talk about his life at United.
“Please ask David Moyes why I’m not in the side,” Kagawa told the AFP news agency.
“It is frustrating not playing but to score a goal like that gives me confidence. Hopefully I can take that back to my club with me and things will improve.”
“It’s hard not playing regularly. Some days the frustration is worse than others; it comes in waves.”
“So it’s nice to come back to Japan and get to play, and to score felt good.”
“I just have to keep working hard and keep pushing for my chance. When I get back it will be a challenge to get into the team.”
“When I get back to my club I have to wait for my chance in the Champions League and the Premier League. I’m sure my chance will come.”
