Bale comparisons unfair but ‘special’ James could star for Man Utd, says ex-Wales international

The Red Devils are being heavily linked with a move for the Swansea winger and John Hartson believes his talent is destined to reach the top

Comparisons to Gareth Bale are unfair on Daniel James, says John Hartson, but the Swansea winger is considered to be “special” and a potentially shrewd addition for Manchester United at £20 million [$25m].

At just 21 years of age, and with only one full season of senior football behind him, the exciting talent is being tipped to take a sizeable jump up the ladder.

His potential was quickly noted during the 2018-19 campaign, with Leeds coming close to getting a deal over the line in January.
