Shinji Kagawa "really enjoying" life at Manchester United

Contrary to reports linking him with a move away from Manchester United, Shinji Kagawa reveals that he is happy at the club.

Shinji Kagawa has moved to play down speculation that he is to leave Manchester United this summer.

Recent reports had suggested that the Japanese international had been deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford by new United manager Louis van Gaal.

However, despite rumoured interest from Atletico Madrid and his former club Borussia Dortmund, the 25-year-old has insisted that he is "really enjoying" his time with United after he came through a "tough" time under David Moyes's guidance last season.

"When I look back, last season was tough. I will use that frustration as a trigger to express myself this season, challenging myself to do new things," Kagawa told the club's official website.

"I'll work hard to achieve goals and results. I'm really enjoying myself, it's my third year with United and I know my teammates very well."

Kagawa joined United from Dortmund during the summer of 2012.
