Giggs: Man Utd winger James won't let success go to his head

Wales coach Ryan Giggs says Daniel James says he won't let his fame with Manchester United go to his head.

James joined United in June having shone at Swansea in the Championship in 2018-19 - his first season of senior football.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer introduced him from the bench in their opening game against Chelsea, with James scoring the final goal in a 4-0 win.

He has started the Red Devils' three matches since, netting again in the surprise home defeat by Crystal Palace and the draw at Southampton.

"We all know what Dan is capable of. What he has done especially over the past eight or nine months - he just gets better and better," said Giggs, who made a club record 963 appearances for United.

"He is at the right club. Ole will look after him in the right way - know when to play him.

"I am pleased for Dan. He won't get carried away - he's that sort of character, really down to earth, and he is at the right club to keep his feet on the ground."
