How Japanese TV reported on Shinji Kagawa’s Old Trafford debut (Manchester United 3 – Fulham 2)

As would be expected, there is plenty of excitement in Japan surrounding Shinji Kagawa’s transfer to Manchester United.

On Saturday, it moved up a notch as Japanese TV covered almost every angle of Kagawa’s Old Trafford debut as Manchester United beat Fulham 3-2.

First Japanese TV interviewed Manchester United supporters outside Old Trafford, who were universally positive about the former Borussia Dortmund schemer.

Then it was off to the Manchester United Mega Store to see that the Kagawa 26 shirt had sold out and then we are treated to a rendition of the new song for the Japanese superstar – set to Queen’s Radio Ga Ga.

The new Kagawa song was rolled out in a pub near Old Trafford after Shinji Kagawa bagged Manchester United’s second. And then there are audible groans as the Japanese attacker hits the post.

Finally, Japanese TV checked out the English press reaction to Shinji Kagawa’s Old Trafford debut before an interview with United legend Paddy Crerand.
