Shinji Kagawa posts birthday photo with masks of his own face

Manchester United outcast Shinji Kagawa gave an insight into his birthday celebrations by posting an image of himself wearing a mask of his own face.

The Japan international, who has failed to force his way into the first team under manager David Moyes this season, turned 25 on Monday.

The midfielder, who did not feature during United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday, celebrated with a cake and a number of friends, who also donned Kagawa masks while posing for photos.

Take a look at the Twitter photo below:
