​Man Utd winger James can ease Wales load on Bale - Giggs

Manchester United winger Daniel James can take some of the attacking load off Gareth Bale.

That is the opinion of Ryan Giggs, who is hoping to integrate both flying wingers into his team.

Wales are facing Azerbaijan in a key Euro 2020 qualifying game on Friday.

And James, who is coming off a hot start at Manchester United, will be hoping to start and show his quality.

"They are both playing and are in good form, both are scoring. I think they are both looking forward to being involved in the game," Giggs said of James and Bale to reporters.

"Dan has got off to a great start to his Manchester United career but also he has been great for us in the last few games - especially during the summer under difficult circumstances.

"It's not only about Gareth. Obviously with what Gareth has done, the capabilities he has got, the pressure and spotlight is always on him.

"I want to bring that pressure off him, we can't rely on him in every game. We have other talent in the squad."
