Ryan Giggs is confident that Daniel James can be a success at Manchester United but believes the winger needs to improve his decision-making skills in attacking areas.
The 22-year-old made a bright start to his career at Old Trafford last season but struggled to make an impact as the campaign progressed and was even linked with a loan move away in the summer transfer window.
James has started twice in the Premier League so far this term and made a late substitute appearance in United’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Giggs has worked closely with James with Wales’ national side and believes the United winger can offer a versatile option to Solskjaer.
‘In my last game [for Wales] he played more centrally,’ Giggs told Webby and O’Neill.
‘In the game against Ireland he played on the wing, and against Bulgaria away he played more as an inside forward.
‘He can do it. The good thing about that is instead of coming up against full-backs he’s more or less coming up against centre-halves.
‘Centre-halves don’t want to be against him, centre-halves don’t want to be going out to those wide areas and facing Dan James.
‘Once he does that… because he gets in so many good positions because of his pace.’
