Manchester United boss David Moyes has revealed that attacking midfielder Shinji Kagawa is “definitely” going to be involved in his side’s Champions League Round of 16 second leg clash against Olympiacos tonight.
The 25-year-old, who has 54 caps and 16 goals for Japan to his name, has been used sparingly by Moyes since he took over the managerial reins of the club in the summer from Sir Alex Ferguson, who bought the player from Borussia Dortmund in 2012.

Kagawa has made just 19 appearances in all competitions for the club this season and is yet to find the back of the net.
However Moyes, who insists that Kagawa is an important player for the Red Devils, explained that the Japanese will feature against Olympiacos at Old Trafford.

“Shinji's an important player for us”, the manager told his club’s official site.
“It's been a difficult time for him – he's not played as often as he'd have liked.
“He's someone we really like and he'll definitely be involved at some point."
Kagawa, whose contract with Manchester United runs until 2016, scored six goals in 27 appearances for the club last term.
