Manchester United legend and Wales manager Ryan Giggs says Daniel James’ move to Old Trafford was a no-brainer for\u00a0Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has impressed since joining the Red Devils from Swansea City earlier this summer, scoring on his debut against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Was James deal a no-brainer? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • James was picked up for a modest \u00a315m earlier this summer.<\/li>\n
  • He immediately impressed in pre-season with his quick feet and fluidity.<\/li>\n
  • James made his debut in the 4-0 win over Chelsea, opening his account in the process.<\/li>\n
  • As such Solskjaer rewarded him with a starting berth against Wolves on Monday.<\/li>\n
  • James showed a few glimmers of his promise but didn’t quite have the same impact as his introduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The four-capped Wales international followed up his substituted appearance against the Blues by starting in the 1-1 draw with Wolves on Monday night.<\/p>\n

    He failed to influence the match at\u00a0Molineux to the same degree as his introduction a week prior, but Giggs believes the pace merchant will ultimately prove a resounding success in the North West.<\/p>\n

    He\u00a0told Premier League Productions<\/a>: \u201cOle asked me about him and I just told him that he is a player with plenty of potential.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHe\u2019s really quick, a great lad, someone who you want in the dressing room, a great character. So, it was a no-brainer really, because he is a talent.<\/p>\n

    “From a standing start he is quick and he will beat anyone.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s just that, like any other young winger, the finishing touches, that final ball, scoring more goals, which he will get better at.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI watched him a lot for Swansea last year and he ripped nearly every full-back in that division apart.”<\/p>\n
