Manchester United winger Daniel James is happy with the Euros now due to kickoff after suffering defeat in the Europa League final.

The Wales winger, 23, scored a penalty in the Red Devils' 11-10 shoot-out defeat to Villarreal last month.

But James admitted he and his potless United team-mates were left 'gutted' after returning from Poland empty-handed.

Now the prospect of a first Euro finals appearance in Saturday's Group A opener with Switzerland in Baku is driving him on again.

James said: "It was gutting for all of us really. For me and a lot of the other players it's not the end of our season. In football you just have to get back up and get on with it.

"Thankfully we don't have to wait until next season to do that and we can go into the Euros and a different environment and look forward to getting back out on the pitch which is what we all want as players."
