Daniel James thinks he made the right decision to leave Manchester United for Leeds United.

The Whites paid their rivals around £25m to sign the Wales international, who spent two seasons at Old Trafford.

"For me and my football career, it was completely the right decision," James told Sky Sports, reflecting on the move.

"Don't get me wrong, I had an unbelievable time [at United ], I made great friends, the staff were amazing to me and so were the fans, but for me, it's time to move on career-wise and just to move forward, so yeah I'm looking forward to it.

"I'm a different player and a different person. I'd only played half-a-season when I nearly signed here last time, but I've now got games under my belt at the top level and I'd like to think I can add something here.

"He's a top manager [Marcelo Bielsa], respected around the world and it's always nice to be liked by someone like that and it's one of the big reasons that I'm here today. Whether he likes you or not, it doesn't mean I'm going to play every week.

"So, I've still got a lot of fighting to do to get try to get into the team because it's a great group of players here."
