Wales international Daniel James has today completed his £25m transfer from Manchester United to Premier League rival Leeds United.

The winger, who joined the Reds from Swansea City in the summer of 2019, put pen to paper on a five-year deal at Elland Road, ending his two-year spell at Old Trafford.

Despite starting Sunday’s 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molino, suggesting he could still play a role in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans this season, United’s position on James changed very quickly after adding Cristiano Ronaldo to the squad.

Upon completing his move to Leeds, James, speaking to the Leeds FC website, said: “It’s a great feeling. I’m glad it’s all over now and I’m looking forward to getting started.

“There’s been interest for a while and it happened late in the window for various reasons, but I’m glad to be here now, I’m ready and can’t wait to go.

“It’s a fantastic club, with an amazing history and a great group of players. I know a few of them already and I’ve had some really great conversations with them.”

After confirming his departure from Old Trafford, the 23-year-old has received a slew of messages from his former teammates, wishing him all the best on his new project at Elland Road.

Among those who sent a message to the Welshman was United goalkeeper David de Gea, who posted on Twitter: “Wishing you all the best.”

Midfield engineer Bruno Fernandes was the last to publicly wish James all the best for the next chapter of his career. “Good luck @daniel_james97,” the Portugal international said, via his Instagram Story.

Marcus Rashford followed suit, also sending James a message on his Instagram Story, writing: “Good luck man @daniel_james97.”

Therefore, James was clearly well respected and well thought of by those in the dressing room.

For James, the switch to Leeds will undoubtedly provide him with the opportunity to secure more regular first-team football.
