Giggs hails red-hot James

Published on

Ryan Giggs has described Daniel James as unstoppable after the Manchester United winger maintained his hot scoring streak in Wales’ 1-0 friendly win over Belarus.

James – who has scored three goals in four games for United since his summer switch from Swansea – curled home a superb 17th-minute winner from 18 yards.

The 21-year-old was a constant danger before replaced after 50 minutes by Gareth Bale, who started on the bench and passed on the captain’s armband to Joe Allen.

‘He [James] is one of those players, you know what he’s going to do but you can’t stop it,’ Wales manager Giggs said.

‘There are so many goals [he’s scored] like that. He can go either way.

‘Early on when I saw DJ, just like any young winger, there can be that improvement in the final ball and scoring more goals.

‘But he’s doing that. To do what he’s done at the start of the season is amazing.

‘The next step obviously is that consistency, which he’s shown so far and he needs to carry on. But I’ve got no doubts that will happen because he wants to be the best.’
