Manchester United 'lead Liverpool in Daniel James race'

Manchester United are reportedly at the head of the queue for Swansea City midfielder Daniel James.

James was strongly linked with a move to Leeds United throughout January, but the Whites could not get a deal over the line before the winter window closed.

Manchester City have since been linked with the 21-year-old, who ended the 2018-19 campaign with five goals and 10 assists in 37 appearances for Swansea in all competitions.

According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are keen on a summer deal for the two-time Wales international, but United currently lead the race for a player who could be available for as little as £10m.

James came through the youth system at Hull City before joining Swansea in 2014.
