Ryan Giggs makes a bold statement about Man Utd's new boy, Daniel James

Ryan Giggs said Manchester United's new boy, Daniel James, was the fastest player in his football career.

James made his £ 18m transfer between Swansea City and United on Wednesday, a day after the start for the Giggs team in Wales in the 1-0 defeat of Hungary in the qualifying rounds. the Euro 2020.

Before the match, Hungarian boss Marco Rossi had compared the winger to Usain Bolt and the Brazilian icon Ronaldo in terms of speed. 21 years old.

"First and foremost, his best attribute is his speed," Giggs said on United's official website.

"I mean, I probably did not see anyone so fast in his career. It's a big cry because I obviously played [with] and played against fast players.

"He can play in several positions, anywhere in the top three, and this year he played a lot for Swansea, which he had not done much in the past, but he looked comfortable.

"It's a nightmare for the defenders. He is not so big, so it's hard to give him an arm. He has both feet, can score goals, create goals. "

Giggs also praised the wide man mentality, which became Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first signature to United.

"He went through a difficult stage where he was loaned [to Shrewsbury]and it did not work, "he said.

"He came back, did really well for Swansea and then, it was well documented, at the beginning of the year, his move to Leeds failed.

"After that, really, he's just been on fire. So that shows all the strength of character that he has, because I know he was about to move.

"He did not let him come, he just focused, bare legs, did really well for me [for Wales] against Slovakia, obviously scored the winning goal, and he improved better and better all season.

"He's still young, he's still learning the game, but he's a speed dealer and I'm sure it'll be a nightmare for the defenders on this big Old Trafford pitch."
