Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa has reportedly developed a taste for British cuisine following his move from Germany in the summer.

The Japan international, who made the switch to Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season, has been open about the challenge of settling into a new culture.

Despite his struggle to adapt to a new language, Kagawa is believed to be well accustomed to certain dishes on the menu at United's training ground at Carrington.

"Shinji hasn't come across sponge pudding and custard too many times on his travels, but he's very polite and seemingly can't get enough," The Sun quotes a source as saying.

"You can always tell if there's curry or a sponge on the menu – because the lads can't get in line quick enough."

Meanwhile, the Red Devils are preparing to face CFR Cluj in the Champions League tomorrow.
