Paul Scholes has already been won over by new Manchester United teammate Shinji Kagawa. Scholes is full of praise for the 23-year-old after seeing him close up on the club's tour of Asia.

"He looks brilliant. I've only been in training with him for a couple of weeks but he's very good technically and you can see the talent he's got already," Scholes said in the Sunday People.

"He's had a couple of great years at Dortmund and I think he has been player of the year in Germany - that tells you he's a top player.

"He will bring goals to the team, whether he's scoring them or making them. He's got great movement and is very clever in the runs he makes.

"It's difficult to say which foot is his best. He's equal with right and left. He's a good lad. He doesn't speak much English yet, but I am sure he will be very popular here."
