Kagawa returns to Dortmund

SHINJI Kagawa has re-signed for former club Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of 8 million euros (US$10.5million) ending an unhappy two-year spell with Manchester United, German publication Bild claimed yesterday.

The 25-year-old Japanese midfielder — who played 71 games for United, including 39 in the English Premier League, after moving there for 16 million euros — has signed a four-year contract with the German giant, with whom he won the 2012 domestic double and the 2011 league title after he joined it for just 350,000 euros in 2010.

Kagawa, part of the Japanese squad that failed to fire at the World Cup finals, had looked to have a shaky future at United with its Dutch manager Louis van Gaal saying he did not fit his philosophy of football.

Kagawa made a promising start at United after being signed from Dortmund by Alex Ferguson in 2012 but injuries hampered his progress.
