It is also said that the player himself has agreed on personal terms with the club. A contract of five-years-long is said to be on the table, with the wages still to be announced. James is a massive coup for the Red Devils but the offer to play for United and European football is an attractive pull for a player in the EFL Championship.
The winger comes highly recommended by ex-United player and legend, Ryan Giggs, who is a huge admirer of the player. Giggs utilises Daniel in his Welsh side and is a regular starter under Wales’ manager, Ryan Giggs.
No doubt the Old Trafford favourite had a major hand in the transfer of Daniel James to United, with him wanting help to bring back success at his old club. Ole and the United board will be relieved they fended off rivals for a promising forward. A forward who comes at a cheap and avoids their big money signings who have failed previously at the club.
Kaveh Sokhekol of Sky Sports believes a few loose ends need some tying up, but a deal is as good as done and could be announced as soon as Wednesday.
