Japan's rising star Shinji Kagawa has said any talk of him moving to English giants Manchester United is purely media speculation and insists he is content at German champions Borussia Dortmund. The 22-year-old insists any interest in him by Sir Alex Ferguson's United has 'only come from the newspapers' and says he is concentrating on winning his place back in the Dortmund team after breaking his foot in January. "I can only say that in Dortmund I have found a wonderful place to play football and I just feel comfortable here," Kawaga told German daily the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. Kagawa broke his foot playing for Japan at the Asian Cup in January and made a brief return to the Dortmund team at the end of last season, but says he wants to work on his fitness with the Bundesliga to start again on August 5. "I must, for my part, first of all work on getting back into the Dortmund team, I have no time to waste on other things," he said, having scored eight goals in 17 Bundesliga games during his first season in Germany. The talented Japanese star has a contract with Dortmund until 2013, but says he can imagine playing for one of European football's powerhouses in the future. "If you look at the Champions League football on television, you see some really great clubs," he said. "It gives you a lot to think about and a lot of possibilities open up."
