Shinji Kagawa is looking at the Louis van Gaal era at Old Trafford as his chance for a fresh start at Manchester United.
Kagawa arrived at the club from Borussia Dortmund with a sky high reputation in 2012, but has struggled to make an impact or carve out a regular spot in the side.
The Japan international is hoping that with Van Gaal resetting the clock, things will be different – and he is ready to give his all.

"It is up to the players to get the results we need. I have a strong desire to do well.
"I will look at my game and accept the challenge filled with ambition."
