The Man Utd shirt number Daniel James will wear at Old Trafford and the player's jersey he has taken

Daniel James' shirt number at Manchester United has been revealed.

The former Swansea City star sealed his move to Old Trafford last month, with the two clubs agreeing a deal which could be worth up to £18million.

The Wales youngster will take squad number 21, which was vacated by Spaniard Ander Herrera, who has left the club at the end of his contract. On the club website you are now able to purchase the shirt complete with number on the back.

James wore the number 20 for Swansea.

James has been out in Dubai on holiday before he joins up with his new team-mates for pre-season, but the winger hasn't been resting on his laurels.

He with a personal trainer, making sure he is in peak fitness condition for his debut campaign in Manchester.

“This is one of the best days of my life and a challenge I am really looking forward to,” the Wales international said last month, in which he paid tribute to his late father, who died suddenly.

“The  Premier League  is the best league in the world and Manchester United is the perfect place for me to continue to develop as a player.

“This is an incredibly proud moment for me and my family, however it is tinged with sadness that my father isn’t able to share this experience with us."
