Daniel James admits he signed for Manchester United expecting to be a "fringe player".

The 21-year-old joined the Red Devils from Championship club Swansea for 15million over the summer.

James told JD Football's #TalkingTekkers: "I came to United maybe thinking I could be a fringe player. I wanted to try and get in the team as quick as I could but I thought it may take a bit more time.

"I got chucked in a lot earlier than I thought. But I was ready for it. I worked hard during the summer. It was about proving people wrong and showing what I can do.

"But now I have started to play I have to change that. Coming in, I set my goal to get ten goals. I scored three in four and people said to me, 'Are you going to change those goals now?'

"But I said, 'I haven't reached that yet so I'm not going to change those goals'."
