#3 United very close to securing Daniel James
The Evening Standard reports that United are very close to securing the services of Swansea winger Daniel James. The Premier League side had been locked in negotiations with the Swans for quite some time now after the player agreed terms with the club. However, recent updates have made United speed up their pursuit and try to secure the Welshman's signature as early as possible. This is because Ligue 1 side AS Monaco had developed an interest in the winger, who has just one year left in his contract with Swansea.
The main reasons for the delay in negotiations is because the two clubs have not been able to agree on a price for the youngster. While United value him at £10 million, Swansea are holding out for £20 million. However, Monaco's interest has apparently forced United to review their stance and as such, an agreement is expected to be just around the corner.
James has mostly appeared on the left wing last season, but he is equally capable of playing across the front three. Even though the pressing requirement is for a right winger, Solskjaer believes that James has all the ingredients to succeed at Old Trafford.
