Daniel James admits he had lost his way after a strong start to his Manchester United career.
The Wales winger backed up his goal against Real Sociedad on Thursday by netting a decisive strike in the 3-1 win over Newcastle United.
And speaking after the game, James said: "I have been as working as hard as I can. It's a turnaround, there was a moment last season I wasn't performing as well.
"I kind of lost my way a bit, I had to look at analysis, I have the right people around me. I like to think I have got there.
"Every time I play I give my all, the gaffer trusts me and a lot of things I have been working on in training are coming off.
"I have been on the sidelines a lot but doing everything can to get back into the team. I am patient, you've got to be. What can you learn from when you are not playing? That's what I've done."
