2. Kagawa & Scholes Are The Perfect Providers For Van Persie
It has been visible from the pre-season tour that Kagawa will presumably be playing the role of the legend Paul Scholes rather than being an attacking midfielder. Since Michael Carrick has also being playing the role of a defender, it becomes extremely important for a player like Kagawa to come back and move the game. In the match against Hannover 96 where Kagawa played full 90 mins for the first time, he started his every movement of the game from back of the center half, very similar to Scholes. Every time, he was seen taking the ball from the defender and building the game from the back to the front. So, the addition of Van Persie is more than important because it will make it easier for Kagawa to play at the back knowing that there are 2 excellent strikers who can carry the ball forward from his passes and bang the net. Moreover, it will strengthen the United central midfield region which has been an issue since the last season.
