Borussia Dortmund playmaker Shinji Kagawa has admitted he would be interested in a move to Manchester United, if the club make a formal offer for his services.

Kagawa's performances for club and country this past year have led to interest from United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and the Red Devils are now reportedly weighing up a move as they seek to rebuild their squad.

And the Japan international says, if the Premier League champions came calling, a move to Old Trafford would be an intriguing prospect.

"If I get a formal offer, I'll be strongly interested in listening to what they have to say," Kagawa told Nikkan Sports. "The Premier League is one of the leagues I want to challenge. If it is Man Utd, I'll be still more eager to go and try how much I can do there."

Kagawa was a key component to Dortmund's capturing of this year's Bundesliga, and Die Borussen will be keen on tying the 22-year-old down to a new deal as they prepare for Champions League football next season.
