Fergie starts his spending as Manchester United seal £17m deal for Japan ace Kagawa

Welcome: How Shinji Kagawa would look in the new United shirt
A club statement read: 'Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has agreed terms with both Borussia Dortmund and Shinji Kagawa for his transfer to the club.
The deal is subject only to the player medical and obtaining a UK work permit. These conditions are anticipated to be completed by the end of June. Further details will be announced in due course.'
The deal is subject to a medical and work permit but there are unlikely to be any issues. United have held negotiations with the Japan international for a number of weeks.
It is not anticipated the deal will be completed until the end of the month as Kagawa is currently on international duty.
He played in Japan's 3-0 World Cup qualifying round victory over Oman at the weekend.
'We would like to thank Shinji for his effort and his large contribution in two extraordinarily successful years,' said Dortmund's sports director Michael Zorc.
He was responsible for bringing the player to Dortmund in 2010 for just £300,000 from Japanese second division club Cerezo Osaka.
