"Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has his say on the departure of Shinji Kagawa to Borussia Dortmund.  &amp;nbsp; #487107889 / gettyimages.com  He came, he saw, he failed to conquer, and now he is going back to his old club. Shinji Kagawa&amp;rsquo;s spell at Manchester United is over as the Japan international has rejoined his former club Borussia Dortmund on a four-year contract. The 25-year-old joined the Red Devils from the German outfit in the summer of 2012, but he failed to settle into life in the Premier League. Often played out of position by both Sir Alex Ferguson and David Moyes, Kagawa proved to be just a squad player over the past two seasons, and has now been allowed to leave by new United boss Louis van Gaal.    &amp;nbsp; GoalsGoal AssistTotal Att AssistFinal Third EntriesPen Area EntriesAccurate Through BallAppsMins   2013-14 0 3 16 73 33 5 18 1,170  2012-13 6 3 19 58 40 5 20 1,325    Kagawa will go down in United&amp;rsquo;s history as a player who failed, but to Juan Mata, he will not be so.
