MU arrived at the summer transfer window with a £15 million signing from Swansea without much expectation as James was just 21. However, the Welsh man responded to the trust of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær with stable performance, always playing with the same enthusiasm and passion.
In the Premier League this season, Daniel has played a total of 8 matches for the Red Devils. With a total of 735 minutes on the pitch, the former Swansea player has put his own pocket in 3 goals and 1 assist with an accuracy rate of 74.7%, releasing 0.6 key passes per match. Notable statistics for a young player who is breathing the Premier League air for the first time.
In the England derby against Liverpool last night in the injury storm sweeping through the Old Tranfford team when there was only one true striker in hand, Coach Solsa. James starting from the start in the 3-4-1-2 formation gives MU more direction to attack in the wing. A typical example was the goal of the striker wearing the number 10 shirt against Liverpool in the 36th minute. Daniel James dribbled the ball away to the right wing and then made a pass to Rashford to tap the ball into the net to defeat Alisson Becker, after Origi lost the ball in the MU half.
That pass, fully demonstrated the determination, agility and accuracy of the young player wearing the number 21 shirt. In addition to that pass, the Welsh winger miserably plagued The Kop's defensive line, especially Andew Robertson's left wing.
Since arriving at Old Trafford, Daniel James has shown Man United's accuracy in bringing him back. Professional contributions are unquestionable. But above all, it is the spirit of forgetting oneself because of the red shirt. In the last match, having to face "giants" in Liverpool's defense such as Van Dijk and Matip did not discourage the run of the young master Daniel. Collision with Van Dijk, he held his breath, colliding with Fabinho, blood drops fell on the handsome face of the young man wearing the number 21 shirt. However, he stood up with a higher determination, the running steps became more agile as if there had been no previous collisions.
That image reminded the Red Devils that their legend also had wind-breaking runs, top-notch crosses and fiery fighting spirit, forgetting that it was Ryan Giggs - James's own teacher in the National Assembly Assembly Assembly of Wales.
This is what makes Manchester fans assured. Although the times have changed and there are many difficulties ahead, they still have a real Red Devils in the squad.
