He began his professional career with the Japanese club Cerezo Osaka before moving to Europe in 2010 to join Borussia Dortmund. At Dortmund, Kagawa quickly established himself as a key player, contributing significantly to the club's success. He played a vital role in helping Borussia Dortmund win two consecutive Bundesliga titles in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons.

Manchester United Football Club
Manchester United Football Club, commonly known as Man United (often stylized as Man Utd) or simply United, is a professional football club situated in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The team competes in the Premier League, the highest division in the English football league system. They are nicknamed the Red Devils and were originally founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, later changing their name to Manchester United in 1902. The club moved to their current home stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910 after a period of playing in Clayton, Manchester.
In domestic competitions, Manchester United holds a record of 20 league titles, 12 FA Cups, six League Cups, and a record 21 FA Community Shields. On the international stage, they have triumphed in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League three times and have also secured victories in the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup, each once.
A significant moment in the club's history occurred in 1968 under the management of Matt Busby, 10 years after the tragic Munich air disaster, which claimed the lives of eight of the club's players. Manchester United became the first English club to win the European Cup. Another iconic figure in the club's history is Sir Alex Ferguson, who served as the longest-serving and most successful manager. Under his guidance from 1986 to 2013, the team secured an impressive total of 38 trophies, including 13 league titles, five FA Cups, and two Champions League titles. The 1998-99 season marked a historic achievement when, under Ferguson, Manchester United became the first English club to accomplish the continental treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League in the same season.
Under José Mourinho's management in the 2016-17 season, the team added another feather to their cap by winning the UEFA Europa League, making them one of only five clubs to have won the original three main UEFA club competitions (the Champions League, Europa League, and Cup Winners' Cup).
