The Red Devils have confirmed the signing on their official website, but have not disclosed the official amount of the signing as of now.
The Welsh forward, who impressed everyone with his blistering pace was speculated heavily to join Manchester united, but a sudden demise of his father stalled the negotiations.
However, Manchester United waited for the player to cope from the tragedy. Later, the player took a brief leave from the Welsh national team camp to take a medical at the at the Aon Training Complex ahead of Wales’ Euro 2020 qualification.

The player has been prolific with Swansea City this season as he has amassed 5 goals and 10 assists in 38 games for Swansea across all competitions.
The player is highly rated by Pep Guardiola and Ryan Giggs, and consider him as a next big thing.
Although, Manchester united have not revealed the official amount of the transfer, but it is reported to be near £15 million as reported earlier.
As of now, Manchester United have claimed that further details about the transfer will soon be updated, as final formalities are being done.

Daniel James doesn’t just attack with pace, but he also has an incredible work rate to defend and work back for his team. No better example than when he played against Manchester City last season. Look at that speed! pic.twitter.com/h7PJg5fXuL
