Manchester United have confirmed they have agreed a deal in principle with Swansea for Daniel James to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first signing at Old Trafford.
Wales manager Ryan Giggs gave James, 21, permission to leave their training camp on Thursday morning to undergo a medical at Carrington after weeks of advanced talks.
United have reportedly agreed a £18million fee for James as Solskjaer looks to overhaul his squad following the side’s dismal end to the season.
A statement confirmed: ‘Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has agreed, in principle, terms with both Swansea City and Daniel James for his transfer to the club.

We're delighted to have agreed terms, in principle, with Swansea City for the transfer of Daniel James to #MUFC. Further details will be revealed in due course.

‘Daniel has successfully completed a medical at the Aon Training Complex. Further details will be communicated once the international transfer window opens next week.’
The youngster had an outstanding breakthrough season for Swansea, notching up four goals and seven assists in the Championship, and several Premier League sides were interested in his signature this summer.
