Daniel James was never “Manchester United standard” says former Red Devils defender, Rio Ferdinand.
United sold the winger for £25 million($35m) to Leeds on a transfer deadline day.
Ferdinand, who spent time with Leeds and Manchester United in his playing days, told his FIVE YouTube channel of James’ move to West Yorkshire: “They’ve been on him for ages, they’ve wanted this boy for time.
“Listen, Dan James, I don’t think he’s Man Utd standard, but he’s definitely Premier League standard and the way Leeds play, he’s going to be a problem for a few teams.
“The kid in that team will be getting the ball and getting forward quick, and that suits his game.
“When you have to break down two banks of four like Man Utd that doesn’t suit James’ game, he likes space. Leeds United for Dan James will be a fantastic move for both parties.”
