Man Utd ace James plays down ‘silly’ Bale comparisons

Manchester United winger Daniel James says that comparisons branding him ‘the next Gareth Bale’ are “silly”.

James, 22, moved to Old Trafford from Swansea last summer and has made 27 league appearances for his new side, scoring three goals and creating six more, though he has not tallied since August.

Nevertheless, he continues to make inroads into the Wales international set up, with his position and his nationality setting him up to be compared with the Real Madrid ace.
