Wales teammates hail Man Utd winger James

Manchester United winger Daniel James has been lauded by two Wales teammates.

The summer signing from Swansea, 21, has scored three goals in four games for United.

And he's clearly a loved character in his national team.

Defender Joe Rodon said: "DJ hasn't got a bad bone in his body.

"He's a brilliant kid, a close friend and is in great form.

"United are a massive club and for him to go there and do that is a credit to him. Hopefully he can continue to perform at a high level.

"DJ's a very talented and quick player — growing up with him in the academy, you didn't want to go one-to-one against him."

And midfielder Tom Lawrence added: "As a youngster you've got to work hard and never get too ahead of yourself, then your opportunities will come.

"Dan has a great background so he'll be fine. I had no doubts that when he got that move, he'd shine at United.

"He's a great lad who is willing to learn."
