Manchester United are reportedly set to beat Liverpool to the signing of Swansea City winger Daniel James.[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7001353/Manchester-United-frontrunners-beat-Liverpool-capture-Swansea-starlet-Daniel-James.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7001353/Manchester-United-frontrunners-beat-Liverpool-capture-Swansea-starlet-Daniel-James.html)

[According to the Daily Mail,](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7001353/Manchester-United-frontrunners-beat-Liverpool-capture-Swansea-starlet-Daniel-James.html) both Premier League sides have expressed an interest in signing the Welshman, but it is United that are now at the front of the queue.

James, who is valued at £10 million, has been a regular for Swansea this season and lightning quick speed has seen him become an attacking force in the Championship.

The Welsh international was very close to joining Leeds during the January window, but a deal broke down in the final stages.

James has since gone on to impress further and now looks Premier League-bound this summer.

While he is not a player that either team will be looking to add to their starting XIs in the immediate future, he is an exciting prospect that looks set to enjoy a bright future in the years to come.
