James makes 'dangerous' Man Utd admission as Welsh winger started to play 'safe' for Red Devils

The Wales international admits that he retreated into his shell at Old Trafford, with a move to Leeds presenting him with a clean slate
Daniel James admits fears over his lack of game time at Manchester United led to him taking "safe" options, with the Wales international conceding that he was playing a "dangerous" game prior to sealing a summer switch to Leeds.

The 23-year-old forward took in 74 appearances across two full seasons at Old Trafford, scoring nine goals, but he was never a guaranteed starter and faced fierce competition for places throughout his time with Premier League heavyweights.

He accepts that overthinking his role in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans contributed to changes in his game that reined in his best asset - searing pace - with the intention being to unlock those qualities again after securing a move to Elland Road.
