Daniel James is certainly intent on making an immediate impression at Manchester United after sealing his £18million switch from Swansea this summer.
The Welsh winger and fellow new boy Aaron Wan-Bissaka were among the 28-man party who travelled to Australia over the weekend for United's pre-season tour.
And it seems James has hit the ground running at United, making an instant impact on his new team-mates and the United coaching staff.
The Sun has claimed that James, who jetted off for a warm-weather training camp in Dubai after sealing his United move, topped all the initial pre-season fitness tests.
A source told the publication: “The word from Carrington is very encouraging on young James.
“He is clearly ahead of the game. He has topped all the early fitness charts. Ole was impressed with seeing him doing his own work.
“He came out top in the sprints, even the short ones, by a good margin of five or so yards.
“He did one fifty metre sprint that left team-mates five metres behind him and also maxing out the bleep test.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will take on Perth Glory and Leeds before continuing on for pre-season games in Singapore and China.
It is understood the manager will ease James into the starting XI when the Premier League campaign starts but will give him a chance to shine in those pre-season encounters.
James was among the first-team players to check in to United's Carrington training base last Monday for pre-season duty.
And speaking last week, Solskjaer revealed that the winger, who is yet to make a Premier League appearance, has lived up to early expectations.
"Daniel has set the marker and the standard on work-rate and attitude in training," he told the club's website . "Whoever you’re going to speak to later on, if you ask about him, it’s been a delight to see.”
