Youngster Surprised for Being Man United Player Ahead of Newcastle Tie

Daniel James scores for Manchester United against Chelsea in August 2019

Manchester United winger Daniel James still can’t believe that he plays for the Red Devils having joined from Swansea City in the summer.

He says, he had never thought of being at the Old Trafford going by how far his football has come along. At some extent, he wanted to join Yeovil Town on loan, but he decided to brave up for a much bigger task. And he doesn’t regret.

“I still don’t believe I’m a Manchester United player. If someone told me I’d be at Manchester United a year later I’d tell them to shut up. Everything has happened so quickly,” he told BBC Sport.

So far, the 21-year old ace has been a key part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team, playing in nine out of 10 games and scoring three goals.

“I wanted to play as many games as I could but didn’t think it would happen so quickly. I still don’t believe I’m a Manchester United player, it’s the stuff you dream of. Even though I’m in the changing room and I know I am, you still have to pinch yourself every night that you can say you’re a Manchester United player. To play here is an honour that I’ll grasp every game. I’ve started better than I thought I would,” he said.

He says he would sign a 15-year contract at United if he could. “This club is amazing. Coming out at the Theatre of Dreams is unbelievable,” he added.

“I’ll always love it and never get used to the sound of the fans. I want to be at the club my whole career. When I see scarves or shirts, I think: ‘Why have they got my name on? They could have Pogba or Rashford or Lingard.’ When people ask for pictures, I’ll think: ‘You don’t want one of me, you want one with them,” he said.
