The new Manchester United signing Shinji Kagawa will be sidelined for the next month. This was announced himself the team manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The Japanese national received a knee injury during a match of the Champions League against Braga and was replaced even at the break.

Kagawa missed the super derby against Chelsea on Sunday, but Ferguson said that the recovery of the midfielder will continue "three or four" weeks.

"The injury of Kagawa is similar to that which had Ashley Young. However the situation is not so bad," said Sir Alex. "The fact that he played with the injury did not help him a lot, although performed well. It is disappointing for him, "said the specialist.

At the same time, it became clear that Chris Smalling has resumed training, while Phil Jones will return to the main group in a week.
