Borussia Dortmund expect Japan midfielder Shinji Kagawa to join Manchester United this summer after he rejected their latest contract offer.
Dortmund want £5million for the 23-year-old but United are still to finalise a decision.

Dortmund director of sport Michael Zorc said: 'I spoke to Shinji and his advisor last week and to date he is not willing to extend his contract.

'We have a Plan A and B and we will follow one of them.
'We won’t gamble, but he has a specific career plan and he plans to play in England.
'We have to accept that, even if we don’t find it good.'


CANNNOT UNDERSTAND THIS


This a good young player who is playing in a good european team (double champions).

Also this type of signing would open up the Asian markets to us even more.

A type of poster boy signing but one that can actually play.

If Man U get this boy it will be such a shame.

Still amazes me how any club can let a young player they would otherwise try keep go for 5m pounds to a CL rival. Like, what are they thinking?

We should av a punt, few quid will do no arm

It may be one of those players you refereed to the other day heggy.

Think before you post, MAYBE, just MAYBE, he wants to play for Man United?......if thats the case, they're welcome to anyone who does!

We certainly don't want to sign ANY player who'd rather play elsewhere, or rely on Champions League immediately to suit their own selfish needs.

We want players who choose a football club based on how they can take the club forward ONWARDS to success.

No brainer to go for him at that price. He can really play and his shirts sales will earn the club many times the transfer fee. Same goes for Keisuke Honda.
All the talk about boosting and capitalising the club's presence and following in Asia... Just talk only?

Craney, the club said he wants to play in England and maybe so far only man utd actually showed real interest?

Who's to say we didn't try months ago at that price?

Think about it people, for f*cks sake!

If the lad has his eyes set on a club, he isn't gonna go elsewhere, unless of course, the club he has his eyes on, don't want him!

Man United will have him, they need that sort of player on the pitch at the moment AND SECONDLY, a Japanese player is good for Asian pull. Shirt sales, support etc etc etc

Maybe, maybe not.

But you can't eliminate other possible solutions. I'm sick of our fans bemoaning players who go elsewhere, PERHAPS they don't want to come to Liverpool, PERHAPS they already have a preference elsewhere?

Just think about it guys. Quality players are rarely only ever sniffed at by one club. I guarantee most of the top clubs in Europe have looked at him....if he wants Man United...how can you, me or anyone change it?

Unless he goes on record saying so, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
For all we know he could be a pool fan, just that we're not in for him......Yet I hope

He can go wherever he chooses. Just that if pool really didn't consider him at that price, then it's a real waste.
But if we did and he's not interested, then good luck elsewhere.
