Peter Schmeichel Praises 'Fantastic Signing' Daniel James After Manchester Derby

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has hailed summer signing Daniel James after his performance in their 2-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday.

James set up Anthony Martial for United's second goal after Marcus Rashford had fired them in front from the penalty spot:

Schmeichel told Premier League Productions (h/t Goal's James Westwood):

"Someone who is not going to grab the headlines is Daniel James.

"He was unbelievable, chasing every ball. He was in every counter-attack and, at the same time, he was doubling up with [Aaron] Wan-Bissaka on the right-hand side.
