manager David Moyes has admitted Shinji Kagawa had to have his stomach
pumped after eating too much following their Everton defeat.
Kagawa was taken to hospital following the match on Wednesday when he complained that he was suffering breathing problems.
Speaking after United's latest loss, a 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle, Moyes said: 'Shinji was very sick after the [Everton] game and he
did a bit of training on Friday but he was low.

'All of the stats that we look
at were low so we felt we had better not take a risk in case we got an injury
by playing him.
'It was a bad sickness. He thinks he ate too much, and
he had to get his stomach pumped, but I think he is okay.'

later began to feel unwell on returning to his apartment in leafy
