Manchester United will launch a ￡20m bid for Borussia Dortmund youngster Shinji Kagawa.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a known admirer of the 21-year-old playmaker and
reportedly has a a ￡16million bid for the player rebuffed.
But Red Devils are expected to renew their interest in the Japan international
at the end of the season with an increased offer.
Kagawa’s impressive performances this season have also caught the attention of
some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Bayern Munich, having notched up 12 goals
in 27 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit.
The Red Devils are thought to have been chasing the young midfielder
since his move from Cerezo Osaka to Dortmund in the summer,
as a potential long-term replacement for the ageing Paul Scholes.
