New Manchester United forward Daniel James has discussed the bittersweet nature of his move to Old Trafford, which was finalised less than a month after his father's untimely death.
Kevan James passed away in May at the age of 60 whilst his son was midway through negotiations with Red Devils, with the Welsh international since completing his £15m switch from Swansea City.
James was unveiled as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first signing since being handed the United job, penning a £67,000-a-week contract with the Champions League quarter-finalists.
Though he was evidently delighted at the transfer, James also admitted there was an element of sorrow about the deal. As quoted by The Sun, he said: "
James will add plenty of trickery, pace and drive to the Red Devils ranks, qualities that have characterised the winger's game and made him stand out amongst teammates since childhood.
I’m very proud to join the biggest football club in the world. This is a new and exciting chapter in my life and I can’t wait to get started. Thank you to everyone who has shown faith in me. Hard work starts now! ⚪⚫ @ManUtd #MUFC pic.twitter.com/SRHdNpvLLI
