The late father of Daniel James helps him succeed at Manchester United.

The Welsh international became Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first rookie at Old Trafford when he arrived from Swansea last month. But James"Dream of moving to United His father, Kevan, died a few weeks earlier, at the age of 60.

"I miss him every day," said James. "He always drove me when he was here and I know he's looking at me now, always driving me."

"There are times when I'm a little depressed about this, but what he would say is that he continues to play and work hard.

"I live with my girlfriend in Manchester, which is good. The support I received from the club and everyone around them was fantastic. "

James impressed in what must be an eventful period for the 21-year-old, who only made his professional debut for Swansea in February 2018.

"It's a kid's dream to play for Manchester United," he said. "Coming here is a little surreal.

"You see the number of fans and the distance traveled by some of them. It will take a little while to get used to it. "

James's pre-season adaptation was impressive. Named man of the match for his performance in the 2-0 win against Perth Glory, the Welsh rider also showed promise signs in the 4-0 win over Leeds – to which he had almost joined the beginning of the year – and then in the defeat of Inter Milan.

"It was good," he said after Mason Greenwood netted a 1-0 win over Inter at Singapore National Stadium on Saturday.

"We played an excellent team and dominated a good part of the game. We showed what we worked on over the next 10 to 14 days: high pressure and recovery of the balloon as quickly as possible.

"It's nice, but there are three other games to play at the start of the season. The players who came played very well, as you saw with Mason today. We have to keep playing and working hard as a team. "
