The Red Devils legend is delighted to see another Wales international winger at Old Trafford, while also backing Anthony Martial to thrive this season

Ryan Giggs considers the £15 million ($19m) deal Manchester United did for Daniel James to have been a “no-brainer”, with the Wales international expected to thrive at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils legend told Premier League Productions: “Ole asked me about him and I just told him that he is a player with plenty of potential.

“He’s really quick, a great lad, someone who you want in the dressing room, a great character. So, it was a no-brainer really, because he is a talent.”

Giggs added: “From a standing start he is quick and he will beat anyone.

“It’s just that, like any other young winger, the finishing touches, that final ball, scoring more goals, which he will get better at.

“I watched him a lot for Swansea last year and he ripped nearly every full-back in that division apart.”
