Daniel James has revealed he couldn't believe it when Manchester United registered their transfer interest in him last summer, but backed himself to get game time at Old Trafford.
The Welsh international moved to Manchester United for £15million transfer to from Swansea in 2019 summer.
"I didn't really know until April, May, at the end of the season," James told former Swansea teammate Kenji Gorre on the Living The Dream podcast about United's interest.
"I knew Leeds would still be there in the summer if I wanted to leave Swansea.
"My agent said 'you've got clubs looking at you and United are one', and I said: 'no they're not!' - to this day I still say to people 'I'm not a United player', because it's weird, when you're young you aspire to be play at the biggest club in the world.
"It's crazy the history they've got here. I looked up to players like Giggs and the players they've had in my position at this club is crazy.
"It was a tricky one as I had other clubs interested in me, not as big as United. I wasn't guaranteed game time anywhere, so why not take this opportunity at the biggest club in the world? If it doesn't work out, I can always go somewhere else. That was my mindset at the time."
Recall that the winger rubbished comparism with his country mate, Gareth Bale. He labeled the comparism" silly".
Daniel James believes the Real Madrid star is a more established player than him.
