Manchester
United have agreed a deal reported to be worth an intial £12m to sign Japan
midfielder Shinji Kagawa from German side Borussia Dortmund.
The 23-year-old needs to pass a medical
and obtain a UK work permit, but the Old Trafford club expect both to be
completed by the end of June.
It is thought the fee could reach £17m
depending on success and appearances.
Kagawa scored 13 goals in 31 Bundesliga
games as Dortmund won a league and cup double in the 2011-12 season.
Currently on international duty, he
played in Japan's 3-0 World Cup qualifying round victory over Oman at the
weekend.
His arrival is likely to excite United's
vast Asian fanbase, while the future of South Korea midfielder Park Ji-Sung is
uncertain.
