He says he posted it after getting home. Flew from Manc to Dublin and Shinjinsaid he was off to Paris when asked.
 
Erm...wtf? This better be bollocks.

He could be going anywhere, and even if he's going to Paris, he could be going for any number of reasons.

Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower. There's three there.

If he likes art though (and I've heard he does) then the Marmottan Museum is the place to go. Stunning collection of Monet works there.
 
I swear Moyes was bigging him up in pre-season. It's not out of the ordinary for us to be cautious with bringing a player back through and thats all this hopefully is. A lot of people are going overboard with Moyes favoring Giggs but really he only had a choice of two out off Valencia, Young, Giggs and Ando. Personally I would have gone with the former two but none of them are great options at the moment. When we know the likes of kagawa, nani and Rooney are fit and aren't getting game time that's when we should panic. It's been a very tough start to the season, 3 tough games at a time when our attack isn't where we'd like it to be by a long shot and whilst you can say Chelsea and Liverpool were poor games, we were the better team in both games, so guess at least that's something to build on once the more creative players like kagawa are available.
 
If Moyes keeps the sulking Rooney but rids himself with what should be his successor, then I might just reconsider watching this shit altogether. That is piss poor management, if so.

So far as we supporters are in a position to know, Kagawa's absence from the pitch has not been due to concerns over hsi fitness. Today Moyes said that he had to choose between him and Nani for the bench and after that there was imply no place for hi in the squad.

The quotes in the article Gambit posted can also be interpreted to preclude any lingering fitness issues:
Gambit said:
"I’ve not had a chance to look at other things," explained the boss. "I’ve had to stick to the same group of players and go with it.

"Shinji came back late and that was the biggest problem for him. We had to give him a week off after he came back to play for us in Japan as well.

It would seem that Moyes decided on a core of players from an early stage and will stick to them for the time being. I would question how with the Confed Cup, a few games in pre-season and numerous training sessions that he has been unable to form a view on Kagawa, that comes across as a tad daft.

Sounds to me that it's fitness related, he mentions how they had to give him extra time off and the comment about him and Nani seemed to me to be more about us being able to take only 1 partially fit player on the bench which makes sense and there wasn't anyone else on the bench who was excess to requirements.
 
Dear Shinji, im still confident you will prove this season to be the biggest success for us.

I really hope that what Moyes said is all due to shinji's match fitness. HAS to start this next game if the problem is solve wich is most possible.
 
 
Never rated him highly, but he is surely a better option than Young, Valencia and Nani. He can play on the wings, on the right as well IMHO.
 
Midfielder Shinji Kagawa has vowed to fight for his place at Manchester United, having not featured in any of the club's three Premier League matches this season.
The 24-year-old is currently with the Japan squad ahead of international friendlies against Guatemala and Ghana.
Kagawa has been overlooked by new United manager David Moyes, and his last first-team match for the Red Devils came in the FA Community Shield at Wembley when he came on for the final seven minutes as a late subsititute.
Kagawa said: "Tough times are continuing, but all I can do is to work hard."
Asked whether he would be staying at Old Trafford, he added: "Yes, that's right".
Fans of his former club Borussia Dortmund have been using Twitter to urge the club to re-sign Kagawa.

Brilliant attitude. Glad the transfer bollocks is over, expect a big season from him! (If Moyes actually starts playing him..)
 
Really want this kid to be a success here.

His form towards the end of last season was really starting to pick up, then he got dumped for that fat scouse bastard again. Problem is all these away flights back to Japan is harming his career.
 
Criminal to not start him, especially when young is in favour
 
Kagawa - Rooney - Nani

Get the three of them fit and playing and United will win the league. With admirable support from Valencia and Welbeck, with cameos from our other options.
 
I've been telling friends and family for ages that this lad is a still going to be a top class player for us but at this stage, they aren't buying it. His alternative style of play(compared to most in our squad) and touch of class doesn't give him a free pass to walk into the side, but he really should be starting over the likes of Giggs and Young IMO. Hopefully Moyes gives him his chance soon.
 
Whether by design or the circumstances of our transfer dealings this summer, Kagawa's commitment and untapped contribution must soon be acknowledged by the management.

How do you know it doesnt work?

Did we manage to get Rooney Kagawa Nani and Van Persie on the field all at the same time last season?
 
I think the difference is that previously we did not have defensively sound enough central midfielders/DM's to coop with having our four best offensive players on at the same time.
