Man Utd: Solskjaer delivers devastating Maguire fitness updaye
Manchester United's transfer priorities will likely see Daniel James leave the club during the summer transfer window, according to reports. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to strengthen a few areas, with the right-wing being one of them.
James' £15million move from Swansea City in 2019 was always seen as a low-risk transfer, and things haven't worked out as planned.
The 23-year-old has struggled to meet the lofty expectations of his blockbuster move to Old Trafford two years ago.
Over his two seasons in Manchester, the club's failure to acquire Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho's services has seen him make 70 appearances.
However, James has scored just nine goals and registered seven assists during his stint with the Red Devils, as his role has reduced in line with the uprise of Mason Greenwood.

United fans are braced for a productive summer following a campaign of progress under Solskjaer.
A joint-highest Premier League finish since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement and a potential Europa League crown has led to calls for the club to back Solskjaer ahead of 2021/22.
Reports suggest the Norwegian boss is eyeing a few incomings this summer, with centre-back, central midfield and right-wing areas of interest.
One year after being priced out of a Sancho deal, United are now widely expected to secure his signature for a lower price.

With Sancho's increasingly likely arrival in mind, James' position in Solskjaer's pecking order could suffer further damage.
According to the Manchester Gazette, the Wales international is unlikely to be at Old Trafford next season.
Well, he could be playing football at the Theatre of Dreams next term, just not in red.
The Manchester Gazette also claim Premier League rivals Leicester City are leading the race for his services, with Brendan Rodgers looking to bolster his youthful attacking ranks.
James kicked off his United career in fine fashion, scoring three goals in his first four Premier League games.
