Manchester United 'will not sanction exit for Daniel James'

Manchester United reportedly have no plans to loan out winger Daniel James, despite strong interest from fellow Premier League clubs.

The Wales international, a £15m signing from Swansea City in June 2019, has been restricted to just seven starts in all competitions for United this term.

Leeds United were close to signing James before the Red Devils pounced and, according to The Mirror, they have been back in for the pacy wideman this month.

Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion and West Bromwich Albion are also said to have made enquiries over the 23-year-old's availability, but Man Utd will not sanction a deadline-day exit.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plans on making full use of his squad across the remaining three months of the season, meaning that fringe player James will be given more opportunities to impress.
