Ryan Giggs reveals that Daniel James is frustrated at Manchester United
According to Daily Mail, Ryan Giggs has admitted that Daniel James is finding life difficult at Manchester United this season.
The Welsh international joined the club in the summer of 2019. Despite a good start, he has failed to put up a consistent run of form. This has seen him fall down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
“I know that Dan is frustrated. Just like any other player who isn’t getting regular footbal.”

As the Wales national team boss, Giggs has kept a close eye on James’ development at Old Trafford.
With half a season to come, James will find opportunities to impress. Giggs believes the onus will be on the player to make the most of those opportunities.
As someone who has donned the famous red jersey himself, Giggs is well aware of the competition for places at United. Opportunities do not come too often and it is up to James to take them.
“When you are at a big club like United when you get the chance take it.”
Now or never
Solskjaer has moulded the United side into a winning machine that has started to churn out results in recent weeks. Though there is still a long way to go, the Red Devils have a realistic shot at challenging for the Premier League title.
During this time, players have stepped up and made themselves count. Unfortunately, James isn’t one of them. As United’s lone senior right-winger, he is sure to get an opportunity sooner or later.
With Amad Diallo also expected to stake a claim on his position, James cannot afford to dally any longer.
