Shinji Kagawa had to get his stomach pumped from eating too much food

The star missed Man United’s loss to Newcastle after suffering an illness, according to David Moyes.

SHINJI KAGAWA MISSED Man United’s loss to Newcastle yesterday after suffering an unfortunate illness.

And manager David Moyes revealed that the star was ostensibly ruled out for a rather unusual reason — excessive eating.

“Shinji was very sick after the [Everton] game and he did a bit of training on Friday but he was low,” Moyes told reporters.

“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.”

    That is utter bull. Obviously went out on the lash. Who has ever heard of getting your stomach pumped after eating too much. Every emergency dept in the country would be out the door on Xmas day.

    He’d probably had a stomach full of Moyes’s shocking tactics and first team choices
