Manchester United unveiled new signing Shinji Kagawa to the world's media on Friday and the Japanese midfielder is not short of admirers with a sea of journalists from his homeland waiting to hear his thoughts on playing in the Premier League.

23-year-old Kagawa spent two years at Borussia Dortmund after a £350,000 move from Cerezo Osaka in 2010. His fee this time around is thought to be in the region of £17 million, which brings added pressure but Kagawa insists he is ready for the challenge.

"I'm happy to be here and every day I'll take the chance to improve myself and move further up.

"I've always said I have to improve my playing qualities; now I've been here a bit I can really feel the difference. It's a top level club and environment, and when the other internationals join us it will be even better.

"It's definitely the greatest challenge of my career and I hope to learn and improve every day. Everything here shows me it's a really big club and it's a great honour to play here. I want to really contribute by achieving concrete results.

"I definitely feel the attention of the media globally now. I'm a member of a great club at Manchester United but I think I can handle the pressure and am pretty confident I can adapt to the style of the Premier League."
