Shinji Kagawa’s pornstar WAG, Ameri Ichinose

Daniel Teo

Looks like Shinji Kagawa is bringing entertainment not just on the Old Trafford pitch, but off it as well.

The new Manchester United midfielder, signed from German champions Borussia Dortmund for S$33.5million (£17million) over the summer, is apparently not the Japanese boy-next-door as he appears to be.

One look at his girlfriend, who can fittingly be called a Red Devil herself, and you will know what I mean.

Ameri Ichinose is a Japanese adult entertainer -- or put it bluntly a porn star. A quick search on the web will provide you a pretty good idea of what she will bring to the Old Trafford stands when the new season kicks off.

The 24-year-old, who has also worked under the names adult entertainment sensations Erika Kurisu and Ayaka Misora, started appearing in porn movies in 2006 following a successful career as a glamour model.

And with Kagawa's meteoric rise to fame during his dazzling two-year spell at Borussia Dortmund and his big-money move to United, it's little surprise the pair found their way into each others' arms.

His personal life aside, Sir Alex Ferguson and United fans will be hoping the Japan international will be firing on all cylinders on the pitch rather than off it, especially when Ameri has made no secret of her love for sex, saying, "the nastier the better".

If the 23-year-old fails to deliver on the pitch, be sure that Fergie will not hesitate to give dish him the treatment David Beckham received due to the distraction which came in the form of his wife Victoria.

    STORY: The newly-elected head of the Hong Kong Journalists Association stood before a throng of reporters on Wednesday to say she had been fired from her job at the Wall Street Journal after she refused demands from her boss at the paper to not run for the leadership post and to not advocate for media freedoms.“At that time, he demanded that I resign from my position on the executive committee of the journalists' association. I told him that day that I refused, but he said the position in the journalists' association was incompatible with my position at The Wall Street Journal. He said that employees of The Wall Street Journal should not be promoting press freedom in places like Hong Kong. He said this place is not like some Western countries where press freedom has already been established.“Selina Cheng - who covered China's automobile sector for the Journal - was elected in June to be the trade union's new chairperson at a time of mounting pressure by authorities under a national security crackdown that has seen reporters arrested and liberal media outlets closed.The Hong Kong Journalists Association said in a statement that by pressuring employees not to take part in the trade union, the Journal "risks hastening the decline of what space for independent journalism remains."A spokesperson for Dow Jones, the Journal's parent company, told Reuters it had made some personnel changes and restructuring decisions on Wednesday but would not comment on specific individuals.
