Manchester United formally welcomed Daniel James to Old Trafford this week after the speedy Wales international completed an £18m switch from Swansea.
James put pen to paper on a five-year deal to 2024, with the option to extend for a further year, and looked genuinely delighted to have signed for the 20-time English champions, describing it as 'one of the best days of my life' and an 'incredibly proud moment'.
The club and fans alike will hope that delight and pride will translate itself into determination and hard work when pre-season begins in barely a fortnight's time.
