All reports coming out about him are so overwhelming positive that I don't give a feck about Hazard. The only thing I found weird about that interview was saying that he isn't the type of player to run at teams. From what I have seen he seems very adept at this. Anyway I took it to mean run at teams as a typical winger would. Id guess his dribbling is more like Silva where he cuts in a lot more

Ahahaha Lucas Neil is such a spastic. 
AHahahahah 10v10.
AHahahahah 10v10.
Another red yuzo
This referee has been absolutely atrocious. He has made three horrible potential game changing decisions. Kagawa has been great.
This ref is almost as bad as Ovebro.
WTF hahaha
That game was excellent despite the ref attempting to feck it up continually.
WTF?? Such a stupid ref
My exact reaction
WTF hahaha
As a Kiwi, I know the A-league is terrible, and I'm assuming they use similar Aussie refs here too?
Frankly, they make Ovrebo look routine, no doubt that's what happened here.

Hahah see Timmy Cahill and Honda..

"Has just fecked up a potentially promising counter-attack but apart from that he's been very good.
Horrible refereeing - two reds and a penalty that should never have been
It's the opinion of Honigstein who knows the ins and outs of German football. Nothing like City forcing players to trot the "Manchester is blue" line upon signing.
When noone else is in for a player we signed he's crap. When it is revealed the reason noone else bid for him is that he was dead set on us, it is a publicity stunt.

You've missed my point. Look at our last few signings, there's either been a leak or a statement saying other clubs were in for them and they chose United. Hernandez could have gone to Madrid, Valencia could have gone to Madrid, Jones could have gone to Arsenal or Liverpool, Young could have gone to Tottenham, Liverpool or Chelsea, Smalling to Arsenal.
Previous to these last couple of years signings I rarely remember hearing where a player "could have signed" after he'd signed for United.
I don't think the club does it purposely. With Jones it was well reported that a ton of clubs bid for him. With Smalling Arsenal bid before us, which was again well reported. Same with Young. In Valencia's case it was that blabbermouth Whelan who talked of Madrid's interest. I don't remember reading anything about Hernandez rejecting Madrid.
In all of these cases the stories about other clubs was widely reported. The club didn't say to the player "tell us which clubs you rejected", the stories were already out there. Again nothing like City's self promotion.
What does Scholesy think about Kagawa?
Really looking forward to Kagawa and Rooney in the same team.
Shinji Kagawa is on his way to Manchester & is expected to complete his medical this week
Shinji Kagawa: “[United] deal is almost completed. I want to challenge with a great determination.”
“United was 1st to officially approach me. Sir Alex's word ‘Trust me. It will be a big challenge.’ impressed me.”
"I took a lot of things into consideration, like the fact that United have got a deep squad & their style of football."
“I feel like I’d be able to gain so much by playing big games on a regular basis, including the UCL. I can’t help but be excited.”
"The more I talked to them, the more I felt Manchester United was the place for me to be."

Nice one, Shinji
Kagawa-san
Hope that's exactly where we'll play him , and not shove him on the wings
"When you look at the football scene, it's the best league in the world. You've got the world's biggest clubs like (Manchester) City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea all in the same league which is fascinating"
City aren't one of the world's biggest clubs.

I actually think he'll link up much better with Welbeck.
? I think Welbeck's very good at linking up for a striker, but I don't ever seeing him playing the final pass to another runner. It's more of a lay off, which he executes well... but aside from that Rooney goal, i think it's a bit overstated.
Javier had several more assists; Welbeck only got off the mark in April or May in assists.
Rooney, on the other hand, is true quality. His short passing isn't always switched on 100%, but he makes the passes when they count, and is one of the best passers for a striker around the world. If we play Kagawa, I don't see us playing 2 strikers. If that's the case, I don't want to see Welbeck getting ahead of Rooney, any single day of the year! Neither do i want to see Welbeck shunted off to be a wide forward, at the expense of Nani / Valencia or Young. They are all much better than him as wide players for a match; maybe if we are chasing a game, sure. Chuck Javier on then, too.
I think Kagawa would link up better with Javier than Welbeck however. The thru balls and Javiers runs
Fergie pulling out all the stops I think I've seen someone say that about every attacker in our team and most of the attackers we've been linked with, and it's so senseless.
Shinji Kagawa performance against Australia
He does look like he'll make us muppets' dreams come true

He got an assist against spurs in the 2nd game of the season

That should shut up people. That is the ones who kept pointing out no one was interested and hence he is not that good.
Can't wait to see this guy in a Utd shirt. The recent reports add to how perfect for us he sounds. Him, Rooney, Welbeck and Cleverley would be lovely to see. Hope to see it used sometimes.
Nani?
Other posters think that too. I think Rooney's reputation of linking up with players has gone down in the Caf's opinion this season but people shouldn't forget all the partnerships he's built at the club.
A lot of people are saying Kagawa will be great for Hernandez (I'm not saying he won't be) but let's not forget how Hernandez was firing with Rooney behind him in the 10/11 season. Then you look at his chemistry with Valencia, Ronaldo when he use to be here, he always links well with Giggs and Scholes etc.
I see Kagawa as another very intelligent player who Rooney will love to play with.
I am ridiculously excited about watching this lad play for us.
Are you Dutch, Top?
Someone will brake the bank for him.
I think the player he most reminds me of is Ozil
