But it is United that secured the deal for what James who is one of a number of up and coming Welsh talents.

Prior to United agreeing a fee with Swansea, Wales legend John Hartson spoke to the Daily Mirror about James’ potential move to Old Trafford.

Hartson said: “If they are offered in excess of £20 million for Daniel, then it’s difficult to turn down. It would also be hard to deny the boy the opportunity of playing for Manchester United.

“Ryan Giggs, the Wales manager, obviously believes in him. That was fantastic for his confidence.”
