Former Manchester United captain Patrice Evra is full of praise for Daniel James.

Evra, who is doing his coaching badges at Carrington, has lauded the 21-year-old.

Giving the youngster the club's player of the month award, Evra told the club's official website: “I think you deserve it and, to be honest, like I was saying before, I'm really, really happy to give you that trophy because the passion, the love.

“I can see it. It's the best day in your life when you're playing for this club and we need those players.

"I remember your celebration [against Chelsea] — you gave me goosebumps!

“I was watching on TV and it was not about your goal, but more about your celebration because it was like 'the club is on the right way' because we need players like you."

Evra also believes James' age is irrelevant and has backed the United youngster to continue to shine.

“Your age doesn't matter," he added.

“If you're young or you're old, you need to show that passion and that love for this shirt because this badge has a big history.

"I think you understand everything, and I'm convinced, 100 per cent, that you're going to have an amazing career because you have the right attitude, and that's important."
