Mistake Number 1 - Where's Shinji Kagawa?

The one that has got everyone talking is the fact Shinji Kagawa hasn't played as much as he perhaps should have. A slight niggle in pre season has seen his progression halted and now when he does get the chance to show what he can do he looks sluggish, rusty and about as effective as a wet sock.

Before he arrived in Manchester he was a sharp, intelligent player who could either carry the ball forward with his feet or thread passes through defences to the Borussia Dortmund forwards.

This season has seen Adnan Junazaj take the left wing, Antonio Valencia take the right and Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie occupy the top spots, leaving Kagawa in the background.

Many have argued that the Japan international should be sitting just in front of Michael Carrick, especially with the questionable form from Marouane Fellaini since his arrival, and I agree with them.

Kagawa needs to be more involved, for me.
