MANCHESTER UNITED MIDFIELDER Shinji Kagawa is determined to improve on last season’s performances.

Kagawa scored six goals in 17 Premier League appearances in his debut season with the title holders but also spent a long time on the sidelines through injury.
“It was a tough time for me, with a lot going on in my head,” he told premierleague.com. “I am not happy with my performance for the team at all. I didn’t score that much and I also had my (knee) injury. Despite that, it was great we won the league, but I just don’t feel that I achieved everything I wanted. For me personally, it wasn’t a good season.”
