'Like Van de Beek' — Manchester United fans share Shinji Kagawa regret after retro shirt photo

Former Manchester United Shinji Kagawa has been pictured in a retro kit, prompting some fans to rue what might have been.

The Japan hero played 57 times for the club between 2012 and 2014, lifting the Premier League in 2013 — the last time the trophy was brought back to Old Trafford. The 33-year-old — who currently plays for top-tier Belgian side Sint-Truiden — was a well-respected figure during his time in Manchester, although didn't quite hit the heights some expected.

He came to Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson after impressing for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. However, he ultimately returned to Dortmund after struggling to find consistency under David Moyes amid an underwhelming stay.
