Shinji Kagawa's time will come at Old Trafford, former Manchester United striker Andrew Cole says. Maybe not now or this season, but eventually, it will.

"He's done really well," Cole said in an interview with Kyodo News. "People, when anyone moves to Manchester United for a certain amount of money, I think they're expecting him to pull out trees straight away and be winning the Ballon d'Or."

"To do two seasons in Germany, to achieve what he has achieved in two years and then move again to the Premiership — that's all in three years. I think it's going to take time for him to adjust to the English game, to the English culture, but we all know his qualities."
