Wales manager Rob Page has suggested Dan James was "mismanaged" by Manchester United and claimed the Reds should have been prepared for his inconsistent form.
James arrived at Old Trafford from Championship club Swansea for £15million in 2019, but he failed to establish himself at United and was sold to Leeds in 2021. The winger played 74 times for the Reds, registering nine goals and nine assists before leaving for Elland Road.
The 25-year-old, who has 42 caps and five international goals for Wales, also struggled for minutes with Leeds before being loaned out to newly-promoted Fulham last summer. He has made just three top-flight starts for the Cottagers, with Marco Silva using James mainly as a substitute.
