Man Utd winger James: I won't feel any pressure with Wales

Manchester United winger Daniel James is excited to experience a first international tournament with Wales.

James insists he no longer gets nervous before big games.

He said, "I think being involved in a lot of pressured games obviously helps. They've calmed down now, definitely.

"Before the game you have a few butterflies, but it's more excitement than nerves and as soon as I get out on that pitch I forget it all, so I wouldn't say I get too nervous anymore.

"I love the pressure. I like the excitement and I kind of thrive off it. Obviously, I've got to set myself my own targets and I want to contribute to the team as much as I can, getting goals and assists and, if I'm not, it's always working hard on the pitch and trying to do my best."
