James backed to get Man Utd career back on track by Wales boss Giggs

Wales boss Ryan Giggs has backed Daniel James to get his Manchester United career back on track, insisting he will be "raring to go" when the new season kicks off.

James made a bright start to life at Old Trafford after completing a £15 million ($20m) move from Swansea City last summer.

The 22-year-old hit three goals in his first four games for United, and was rewarded for his exploits in the final third with the club's in-house player of the month award for August.

However, James only managed to find the back of the next once in his next 42 appearances in all competitions, and fell out of favour with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer towards the end of the 2019-20 campaign.
