James wants winning Europa League debut to ease pressure on Manchester United

Daniel James is eager to mark his European debut for Manchester United with a win over AZ that could ease the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

United head to the Netherlands for Thursday's match looking to make it two wins from two in the Europa League this season following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Astana on matchday one.

Solskjaer's men have won just two of their past eight games in all competitions, not including the penalty shoot-out success against League One Rochdale in the EFL Cup, and scrutiny on the manager is growing.
