Shinji Kagawa aims to excel at World Cup, not out to impress new United boss

TOKYO (AFP) – Japan star Shinji Kagawa says he will not use the World Cup to impress Manchester United’s new manager Louis van Gaal, despite being largely ignored by the sacked David Moyes last season.

“I think everyone knows I want to do well at the World Cup, and I’m sure everyone else does, too,” the 25-year-old attacking midfielder told local media this week at Japan’s training camp ahead of his debut on soccer’s biggest stage.

“But I don’t want to get my priorities mixed up here – the important thing is for Japan to win at the World Cup,” Kagawa said, according to Kyodo news agency.

“I’m not using the World Cup as a place to showcase myself for (van Gaal).”
