Daniel James says he is not bothered by the physical treatment he has received from defenders since completing his move to Manchester United.
The Wales winger has been on the end of some strong challenges during his first pre-season tour with the club, but he insists he won't let it faze him.
James was the centre of attention again on Thursday night when he was on the receiving end of an apparent stamp from Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko.
The French midfielder appeared to grow frustrated with the energy of the United winger and adopted a physical strategy in order to contain his talents.
Following the match Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino apologised for his side's approach, but James insists that winning fouls is simply part of his game.
"No, not (bothered) at all," James said. "It’s always going to be part of my game. Being a winger I’m always going to get fouled but it’s just about how you get on with it. I don’t let it get in my head and just keep going.
"If you watch any of my games from last season I think it’s going to happen to me every game. I got some rough treatment today but it’s literally every game. I’m used to it. It’s just about getting back up and getting on with it.
"The Sissoko one today, I’ve nipped in just before and he’s fouled me at the edge of the box in a good position. Part of my game is about winning those fouls and getting in good positions."
Sissoko was not booked for the incident involving James, but when asked if he received enough protection from referees the United winger insisted there was no issue.
The Welsh winger added: "I think I do. I’d say in these friendly games the refs are a bit more lenient. Maybe refs out here are a bit more lenient than they are back home.
"It’s a friendly so you’re always going to be more lenient. They don’t want to be handing out red cards. We’ll see when we get back but certainly last year there was a bit of rough treatment."
