Giggs insists Man Utd whiz James will continue to improve

Wales coach Ryan Giggs says there's much to more to come from Manchester United winger Dan James.

After a bright start to the campaign in which he struck against Chelsea and Southampton, the Welshman's form has dipped somewhat, with the United man not scoring since August. Giggs feels the excitement surrounding James' potential leads to him having a big target on his back.

"When you set a standard and you just drop below it then you are open to criticism, but Dan is still doing fine," Giggs said. "I've always maintained that he's at a good club, with a good manager who will handle him right.

"Dan is one of those players that will keep improving. Wingers, your job is score goals and make goals, that final ball, trying to get up to those double figures in goals – these are the things that wide players have got to do, and Dan will get there."
