Manchester United fan airs new chant for summer signing Daniel James

It has been the dream start to life at Manchester United for summer signing Daniel James.

From a debut goal in front of the Stretford End to being named the club's Player of the Month for his impressive performances throughout August, it has been beyond the wildest dreams of the Wales international.

Many supporters were unaware of the talents of the 21-year-old when he arrived from Swansea in the summer, but he has blown away expectations with a series of consistent displays on the left wing.

James will be looking to further cement his place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans for the rest of the season and it seems like he has the full backing of the United support.

So much so that one creative fan on Reddit has invented a new chant for the Welsh winger just five games into his career at the club.

Naturally the chant is intended to be sung to the tune of Elton John's "Daniel" and it pays homage to the new summer signing, as well as club legend Ryan Giggs.

Supporters have previously serenaded the former Swansea winger with an adaptation of the famous 'Giggs will tear you apart' chant, but not it seems like James has a unique chant of his own.

It might not have been sung at any matches yet, but it could get its first airing at Old Trafford in the coming weeks.

The lyrics for those who want to sing along:

"Daniel is playing wide on the wing,

"Some say he's the best Welsh man that they've ever seen,

"Oh and, I can see Daniel passing you by.

"God it looks like Daniel...

"But might be Giggs in disguise."
