It's always worth remembering that he's only 23, and not a very experienced 23 either.
This guy has wonderful composure. Knows almost what he wants to do before he touches the ball.
Fantastic game for the guy! Very bright passes and movement. Deserved his hatrick.
3 very clever finishes.
Start him against Madrid.

A very nice and clean hat trick, his finishing showed some class and composure not a lot of players have.
I always suspected that he and Rooney can work wonders together. That is why we have to play both of them, even though it means playing one of them out of position.
Great performance today. Easily MOTM, even though Rooney and Carrick both did really well.

His first touch is fantastic, but I had no idea he could finish like that too
Not only settling into a new league but the injury's haven't helped. His class as been there since pre season lets just hope he can keep it up, I think he will be a massive player for us in the coming years.
To have 2 class players like Kagawa and Nani coming into form towards the 'business end' of the season can only be good news for everybody.

The finish for the third in particular was brilliant.
Get in son. Hope he brings some more of that clinical touch and pass and even finish if he starts on Tuesday!
Flop
Really? He scored loads goals for Dortmund. A lot of people had the impression that was a Silva-esque playmaker when we brought him here, but he's far more of a goalscorer.
The coming out party for Kagawa. Plus he stayed on the pitch for the whole 90 minutes for the first time. Great finishes for his 2nd and 3rd. Absolutely brilliant.
Gif everything, gif it all.
All 3 finishes were pure cool class
I think Nani was pencilled in for Madrid but a hattrick is difficult to ignore. I suppose it is possible we will see both but it depends what shape Fergie has in mind.
The second was my favourite I think, just so damn cheeky.
He was trying to emulate Barry vs Southampton.
Cool as feck that finish.
Watching him while he was Dortmund, I always knew he was a great finisher. Made some mouthwatering runs and seemed to always find the net when in the box. His finish against Spurs earlier on in the season is a great example.
Barry's was smoother
I want RVP, Rooney, Kagawa and Nani as our front four, which would be unstoppable.
Banzai!
But Barry had to put it past Joe Hart, a nearly impossible task
I think Fergie did not intend to start him against Madrid... but will surely face a dilemma now.
He wasn't good at the Bernabeu to say the least but this will have boosted his confidence. And he's a better footballer than Welbeck or Valencia...

Such a classy player when he's in the groove. We're lucky to have him and he's only gonna get better for us. It's about time he rediscovered his end product. He passes the ball so cleverly and finds himself in great positions. I've seen enough of his finishing to know he's capable of these goals today.
Interesting dilemma for Fergie. They've both made their claim. If we're able to fit them both in according to our gameplan, then great.

His finishes were excellent, but his overall play today was superb. Kept finding pockets of space, first touch was mostly very good and he almost had a very good assist when he slid the ball into Rooney.
I wonder if this performance forces Fergie to start him Tuesday?

Really pleased for him, hopefully this will be the game that kick starts things for him here, such a classy hat-trick. His all round play was very good today as well, he hunted the ball well and used it smartly when he got it, very encouraging.
Is he the first Asian player to score a hat-trick in the league?
Was it just the 2 defenders and the goalkeeper who bought the dummy for his 2nd?
I wouldnt be surprised if that it true.
That second goal was awesome as feck. My roommate and I couldn't believe how classy that was. It was like a penalty only he sent three players including the keeper the wrong way
Yeah. I think he was the first to get 2 goals in a match.
Brilliant today. Great movement, his touch and passing were also brilliant. 3 goals from 3 shots showing his finishing ability.
Didn't Park get two against Wolves once?
Park has done it.. It was the unforgettable 'Bebe' game
He's going to be an awesome player for us once he's had a season in this league.
I've been certain of this since the day he signed.
Glastonshit still thinks Dempsey is better though.

Since he played his first full 90 minutes today, I doubt he will start against Madrid. He is going to be knackered. I hope its Welbeck on the left and Nani on the right and Giggs replacing Welbeck for his 1000th appearance.
