Manchester United fans will hope it is the first of many as the Norwegian looks to overhaul his squad ahead of the new season. Solskajer will hope James proves a savvy investment over the coming seasons, but how did the first signings of previous managers perform at United? The full-back enjoyed more match action under Louis van Gaal but was loaned to Frankfurt by Jose Mourinho and returned to Penarol in August, 2017. The Welsh winger is expected to offer United more attacking options out wide after enjoying a breakthrough season with Swansea in the Championship. James has signed a five-year deal with an option to extend a further 12 months, and there is plenty of expectation on the shoulders of the £15m signing.
