Kagawa unhappy with debut season at United

Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa says he is dissatisfied with his first season in English football, despite lifting the Premier League title.



Kagawa, 24, arrived at Old Trafford last summer with a big reputation having played a key role in Borussia Dortmund's back-to-back Bundesliga triumphs.



The Japan international showed plenty of glimpses of quality throughout the season - notably with a memorable hat-trick against Norwich in March - but injuries hampered his consistency.



And after securing his third straight league title, Kagawa has promised United fans that there is plenty more to come from him.



"I was looking to produce even more results," Kagawa said. "I was injured and I felt things didn't go well easily. I had a lot of conflict, frustration and worries. In that sense, I think it has been a profound year.



"Honestly, I haven't contributed as much as I did at Dortmund. I was even injured. I still don't quite have that feeling of accomplishment. But I've managed to win three in a row. I think my career is bound to get better and better."

Kagawa: I had more to offer

Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa admits he wishes he could have contributed more to his side's Premier League title winning season.

Kagawa, who arrived at Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund last summer, started his debut season at United brightly but suffered a knee injury in October which kept him sidelined for two months.



The 24-year-old scored five goals in 18 Premier League outings for the club, including his hat-trick in the 4-0 success over Norwich last month.

"Honestly, I haven't contributed as much as I did at Dortmund. I was even injured. I still don't quite have that feeling of accomplishment."

The Japan international has earned plaudits in his home country after helping United to a 20th league title but believes he could have offered more to Sir Alex Ferguson's side.



He said: "I was looking to produce even more results. I was injured and I felt things didn't go well easily.



"I had a lot of conflict, frustration and worries. In that sense, I think it has been a profound year.



"Honestly, I haven't contributed as much as I did at Dortmund.



"I was even injured. I still don't quite have that feeling of accomplishment."



Despite feeling he could have offered more on an individual level, Kagawa was pleased to be part of three successive title wins after helping Dortmund to back-to-back championships following his move from J-League club Cerezo Osaka in 2010.



The midfielder is hoping to build on that tally, adding: "I've managed to win three in a row. I think my career is bound to get better and better."
