Man Utd to use Kagawa as trump card for Borussia Dortmund pair Reus, Gundogan

Shinji Kagawa is expected to be sold by Manchester United this week. The Manchester Evening News says Juan Mata's £37m move to United will set in motion a chain reaction of transfer activity that will extend far beyond this window.

Kagawa 's future is under immediate threat from the Spanish playmaker's arrival.

David Moyes does not consider the Japanese international to be part of his strongest attack that he intends to build around Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Mata.

The 24-year-old could be offered as a makeweight in United's pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus and Ilkay Gundogan.

Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has made no secret of his dismay at Kagawa's fall from grace since his £12m move to Old Trafford two summers ago.
