Shinji Kagawa Hoping To Call The Tune

SHANGHAI, CHINA – JULY 25: Shinji Kagawa of Manchester United (C) prepares to shoot during the Friendly Match between Shanghai Shenhua and Manchester United at Shanghai Stadium on July 25, 2012 in Shanghai, China.

Fol­low­ing two goal­less draws with VIF Oslo and Bar­celona respect­ively, Manchester United make the jour­ney to the homet­own of German-English com­poser Georg Friedrich Han­del to play Han­nover 96 at ADW Sta­dium this com­ing Sat­urday. The friendly match in Han­over marks the finale of Manchester United’s 2012 DHL pre-season tour.

Former Bor­us­sia Dortmund star player Shinji Kagawa will no doubt be look­ing to call the tune against Ger­man Bundes­liga out­fit Han­nover 96 this week­end. A ver­sat­ile per­former with excel­lent ball skills, the foot­balling maes­tro can con­duct the mid­field as well as set­ting up the attack. And as expec­ted, Shinji Kagawa has man­aged to settle down very well at Manchester United and there is no way the mid­field orches­trator will play second fiddle to any­one.

Manchester United Squad: David de Gea, Anders Linde­gaard, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdin­and, Nemanja Vidic, Valen­cia, Michael Car­rick, Paul Scholes, Ander­son, Shinji Kagawa, Nick Pow­ell, Ryan Tunnicliffe, Jesse Lingard, Dim­itar Ber­batov, Nani, Fed­erico Macheda, Rob­bie Brady, Javier Hernan­dez, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck.
