Man Utd: Solskjaer discusses Daniel James transfer rumours
Manchester United boss Solskjaer has turned to James to solve his right-wing woes, with top transfer target Jadon Sancho expected to snub a move to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils want the Swansea star signed at the earliest opportunity as they begin their overhaul of the squad.
James has impressed in the Championship and, before talk of a move to Manchester United, he was also linked with a move to Manchester City.
However, the Manchester Evening News have claimed that the player’s representatives are baffled by the intensity of the club’s pursuit.
