‘My Late Father Still Drives Me On’- Man United Star Daniel James

Manchester United’s Daniel James feels the pain of his father’s death every day but says: “I know he is looking down on me now, still driving me on.”

James’s father Kevan died in May, aged 60, three weeks before the 21-year-old Wales winger joined United for £15m.

“Every day, I miss him,” said James. “He always drove me on when he was here.

“There are times when I am a bit down about it but what he would say is just keep playing and working hard.”

James largely impressed during United’s 1-0 pre-season win over Inter Milan in Singapore on Saturday.
