Ryan Giggs responds to Leeds United interest in Man United winger Daniel James

Ryan Giggs says he has not spoken to Daniel James about a potential move to Leeds United.

The Manchester United winger has been linked with a move to Elland Road after struggling for football at Old Trafford.

Whilst James is said to be keen to stay at Old Trafford, the Whites could be handed a boost over their interest in the player should Man United land a winger of their own.

James is still regularly called up to Wales' senior set-up despite his lack of game time but Giggs says he has not spoken to the player over any interest from Leeds.

Giggs said (via MEN) : “No I haven’t because there’s a lot of speculation with a lot of players.

"I don’t really get into conversations until there’s something concrete. So no I haven’t.

"Dan was fantastic for us in the last campaign and I’m sure he’s looking forward to joining up with us again, as he always does.”

The Wales boss admitted that James faces added pressure playing for Manchester United than other clubs - but said that he has not seen anything to suggest the winger is struggling.

“If you’re at a big club you’re always going to get criticised. It comes with the territory – you have to deal with that," added Giggs.

"That is something that will always happen. With me, I only talk to him when I feel he needs talking to.

"With me, he was fantastic. He hadn’t played any games, he turned up, was sharp, he’d looked after himself and that will be the case again I’m sure when he turns up on Sunday."
