Solskjaer’s first Man United signing James discusses ”surreal” move

Manchester United have completed the signing of Wales winger Daniel James from Swansea.

The 21-year-old has signed a five-year contract, with the option to extend for a further year, to become manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first signing at Old Trafford.

James, a graduate of the Swansea academy, scored five goals in 38 appearances during an impressive 2018-19 campaign with the Championship side.

Speaking to MUTV, James had this to say:

“For me, surreal really to be part of this massive club. As a kid I think everyone grows up saying ‘I want to play for Manchester United’ and here I am today saying that.
