The Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung believes Shinji Kagawa will be Manchester United's next successful Asian import. Kagawa, who has signed from Borussia Dortmund, will be the club's first Japanese player.

"I'm happy because we're signing a good player," Park said. "Manchester United is a huge club and every season we sign new, world-class names. I hope Kagawa shows how good he is next season and I think he will do."
