Contrary to the popular belief on here, Kagawa IS and has been match fit this season. He has come out a publicly declared his frustration and not being selected by Moyes. Kagawa has said to the AFP news agency that "Please ask David Moyes why I'm not in the side," Kagawa, left out of the United squad beaten by Liverpool before the international break.
He goes on to say "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." Kagawa also reassures himself that his chance will come.
I'm sure Moyes is trying to slowly blood him into the side. Really hope he comes good for us.

Kagawa should have started at Liverpool instead of Giggs.

He needs faith, he's not the finished article but he's shownhe has that vision and class that were missing around the middle of the pitch. And God do we need it

I wish he would just go back to a Manager that has faith in him and fans that clearly want him back in their team. The fact that certain players have always had leeway over technical players just frustrates me.
Valencia and Young don't exactly have an abundance of technical ability, yet seem to walk back into the team. Last year Valencia, could just have a nap on the pitch and still get selected for the next game. We couldn't utilise Berbatov and we know how technically brilliant he was and I believe we're going to have the same issue with Kagawa.
You either buy a player and play him in his correct position or you just don't bother. Maybe with Kagawa it was unfortunate that Van Persie was available that jeopardised his chances of 10, seeing as Van Persie will ALWAYS play.
I'll say it now and I can't remember who else said it on here too. Kagawa as a 10, behind Rooney is a much better partnership than Van Persie.

Don't get me wrong. I am all for seeing Kagawa in place of Giggs in any position, in the midfield.

One glance at Pogba should be enough to show him what he misses.

Just got a feeling moyes doesn't fancy him at all, god knows why and I hope I'm wrong. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to Dortmond on loan before moving back permantly. Moyes like fergie just rates welbeck in that role, and you're right about young. How on earth he's playing is beyond me!

I think he will remain being frustrated because i cannot see him getting into the side with fellaini coming in playing alongside carrick or behind the striker. Clev will probably second choice CM. So his only chance will be on the LW and we got giggs young nani zaha who can play there

Its simples ..kagawa is not trusted because he is being out performed in training. when he does get a game he is ineffective..simple..he is not the world superstar utd fans think he is. A hattrick against norwich is his best so far. Its simple.. If kagawa can't get into the team then its on merit or lack of...
