Had events turned out differently, Daniel James would have been landing in Perth on Sunday afternoon and beginning the process of shaking off jet-lag in time for Wednesday night’s pre-season encounter between old rivals Leeds and Manchester United at Optus Stadium.
James is still preparing for that game – but as a Manchester United player, rather than the Leeds one it looked like he would be back in January.
“It’s surreal,” the 21-year-old told BBC Sport, with the warm words of new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ringing in his ears after a pleasing debut in the 2-0 friendly win over Perth Glory on Saturday.
“The amount of fans that came to training on Thursday, then those who came to the game against Perth Glory. It just shows the support this club has got. It is amazing really.”SHARE THIS STORY
