The Bench XI - The world's best who aren't able to get a game

LM – Shinji Kagawa (Manchester United)

A superstar at Borussia Dortmund, Shinji Kagawa’s capture was seen as a major coup for Manchester United last season, as the Japanese playmaker chose the Red Devils over lots of other suitors looking to lay claim to his signature.

However, his career has thereafter seen a downward spiral, with Kagawa now struggling to make the matchday squad at times under David Moyes.

Manchester United’s inability to play a formation suited to him, or even offer him a spot in his favoured position, has affected his chances at the club, with many predicting an exit from Old Trafford for the talented midfielder.
