This is possibly true, but only because getting a German player out of the German league is about as tricky as getting an English player out of the English league. Home grown rules and all that.

They still might've, we'll never know, but if you think it wasn't factored into their decision to buy this player who, however good he is, clearly does not fit into the United style of play, you're naive. It's not racism on my part, it's racism on United's I'm just observing and noting their behaviour.
I don't know if that's true, I think he does fit into United's style of play quite easily. The fact that he's scored a hattrick in his first season, scored more goals than any other midfielder last season despite having a low number of starts compared to the others, is constantly begged to get more starts from the fans and also was one of the starring players in our best performances this season says that he is very much a United player. Kagawa's problem is that him doing well requires he and Rooney playing and interchanging and it is very rare that SAF played them in tangent because of RVP's fantastic season, and as for Moyes, well... I don't know! He won't play the player who was our best person on the pitch during our best performance on the pitch under Moyes. This is a criticism I do hold against Moyes.
Still, you may be able to justify him and maybe even Park (though he should've been shifted a couple of years before he was. Though I guess I could say that for half the United midfield. How the hell is Anderson still a United player) as players but you can't Dong.
I don't think anyone in the world would say Dong was anything but a shirtseller. xD I do wonder if he even managed to sell many shirts.
