BERLIN (Reuters) - Japan midfielder Shinji Kagawa returned to Borussia Dortmund on Sunday, signing a four-year contract with last season's Bundesliga runners-up after two disappointing years at Manchester United.

A Dortmund crowd favourite during his 2010-12 stint at the Ruhr valley club, he helped them to win consecutive German league titles in 2011 and 2012 as well as the 2012 German Cup.
