Manchester United fans excited by Daniel James moment last season

Manchester United fans have been getting excited over a clip showing new signing Daniel James score for Swansea after the winger underwent a medical at the club.

James is expected to be announced as a United player next week after Wales have played Croatia and Hungary in Euro 2020 qualifying.

When he does, he will become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first signing as United manager, and fans were hoping his acquisition is the first of many this summer.

Coming from the Championship, James is something of an unknown for United fans, but a clip resurfaced on Thursday showing what he can offer his new side.

The video showed James for Swansea in the FA Cup against Brentford last season, picking up a lose ball on the edge of his own box as an opposition free kick broke free.

James sprinted clear and found the back of the net five touches and nine seconds later with a fine solo goal.

Needless to say, United fans were pretty excited at the prospect of some out-and-out pace in their side - especially as the footage had been dubbed over with some brilliant commentary.
