Manchester United new signing Daniel James has flaunted his intense speed during the club’s 4-0 triumph over Leeds United in Perth in their pre-season tour of Australia.
The 21 year old secured the Man of the Match award in United’s previous win over Perth Glory, and continued showcasing his skill set as he joined the starting 11 against the Whites on Wednesday at the Optus Stadium.
The Red Devils rushed in on the counter-attack, as Rashford carried forward the through from Pogba, while the Welshman thundered accross the field into Leeds’ box, and fired the pass from the United forward, but the ball clipped the post.
The clip was uploaded to United’s twitter fan account @TheManUtdWay. Watch it below-

In addition to the thrashing of their historical rivals, James was one of the hot topics during post-match discussion, as seen in several retweets.
Just look at him start running from the second Pogba looks up and play that pass. He left everyone behind, it so deserved a goal at the end of it. He’s going to cause all sorts of trouble next season!

Club legend Rio Ferdinand praised the youngster.
Love this… 👏🏽

The Reds boss Solskjær was already full of praise for the young sensation.
In an interview this week, he told: “Dan can play all across the front line.”
“Obviously more right or left wing but he can play through the middle as well.”
Then again, it’s about finding a relationship that works, sometimes you want the full back to join the attack and maybe you don’t want a winger hugging the touchline.”
“We’ll just have to find the balance between width and players in between, so I’m sure you’ll see him both right and left throughout the season.”
