Manchester United (5) 2-2 (4) AC Milan: 5 Men who impressed for the Red Devils

#4 Daniel James

Daniel James came off the bench and looked lively

United’s new signing started from the bench and was called into action in the 60th minute, when Solskjaer decided to send him out for a run on the right-wing The Welshman had an instant impact, finding pockets of spaces in the wide areas and causing the Milan defence a lot of problems with his pace.

With Ashley Young for company, James was tireless on the right-wing and while he did not get a chance to display his blistering pace on the pitch, the youngster still had a good outing on the night.

James combined well with Martial and Rashford in the final third, showing signs of a budding partnership upfront. The Welshman also tracked back to help out Young and even won the ball back a couple of times in the midfield.

James showed great composure in counter-attacks and his quick feet and skills won United quite a few free kicks, including at least a couple in great areas. He also had a good chance to score but fluffed his shot wide. However, he did redeem himself by scoring the winning penalty kick.

The Welshman is not the finished material yet but he is already showing signs of improvement with every game.
