Daniel James's Life and Career Journey in Football "One of The Move of young Welsh Star "

Football is being shocked by the move of young Welsh star Daniel James to Manchester United. Exactly on June 6, 2019, James underwent a medical examination with the Manchester United club ahead of the transfer at a cost of 15 million pounds or 272 billion rupiah, with some additional details.

The next day, United announced that they had agreed to the terms of this transfer. Then right on June 11, 2019, the Red Devils Team officially announced the signing of James with a contract duration of five years, with an extension option the following year.

Daniel Owen James, born on November 10, 1997 in Beverly, England. Beverly itself is a historic city place in the Yorkshire area, close to Hull City, England.

In the process of birth, there are some important things happening. Among them is the emergence of the film Titanic, played by Kate Winslet and Leonardo di Caprio. The film finally became the biggest in history.

Besides Titanic, in the year of James's birth there also appeared Harry Potter and The Philosoper’s Stone. Then, another equally important event was when Princess Diana died in a car accident.

Not much of the James family actually came from Wales. But out of respect for his father, he then chose Welsh citizenship. The father was born in Aberdare, a town in the Cynon valley in Rhondda Cynon Taff, South Wales.

However, James now could no longer feel the warmth of his father's love. Because, one of the most loved people died right before he signed a contract with Manchester United.

This news really hit James. Even though he was experiencing pain, both James and other family members did not think his father would die so quickly.

For James, the father is a figure who gave him extraordinary support. According to him, the first person to provide support at the beginning of his career was his father.

When he began to grow up, James entered South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College. The place is a school that is quite popular and is located in the Melton region, Yorkshire, England. Please note that the school has been named as a place for athletes to take shelter. In a sense, South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College is a place for athletes to grow.

Daniel James was deliberately put into place by his parents. Because, James's parents believed the school could provide the child with formal and athletic education in a balanced way.

Although there are several sports available at South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College, Daniel James puts his choice in soccer. James continued to enjoy his school days in order to realize his dream as a professional soccer player.

Daniel James' enthusiasm to become a professional footballer finally got the attention of the Hull City academy. Right in 2006, he was accepted at the academy.

Although at that time many players were smarter than him, James still had a strong determination to be the best. Sure enough, it didn't take long for James to have a positive impact on the club. He became one of the most prominent players and many called him the best dropout of the Tigers academy.

As a child, James supported Manchester United and idolized Ryan Giggs.

Until exactly in 2014, his career met with a bright spot. He decided to move to Swansea thanks to the services of his father.

At that time, James joined Swansea City at a cost of 72 thousand pounds and became part of their U18 academy.

In the 2016/17 season, James has become an important part of the Swansea U23 team who are promoted to the First Division and won the league by 11 points. In addition, James contributed greatly to the team in winning the Premier League trophy and reaching the semi-finals of the Premier League International Cup and the quarter-finals of the EFL Trophy.

After his performance was considered very impressive, James was included in the first team squad for the first time in January 2016.

James made his debut for Swansea on 17 August 2018 in a match against Birmingham City in the EFL Championship competition. James's initial debut with the Swansea senior team was highlighted by the score of the glasses.

After lakoni debut, James was able to score his first goal for Swansea on 24 November 2018 in a 4-1 defeat at home against Norwich City.

In December 2018, James successfully became a regular player and became one of the most prominent in the stronghold of The Swans. Swansea manager, Graham Potter, also revealed that the club at that time immediately opened talks for James's new contract.

But right at the end of January 2019, James revealed his desire to leave. He wants to join Leeds United, which has become the club with the most interest.

However, the transfer failed and made James very disappointed.

At that time, an offer of 10 million pounds was approved by Leeds in the transfer market last January. James has even left for Leeds to undergo a medical. But Swansea later changed his mind and was reluctant to release it until the transfer window closed.

This decision certainly caused controversy.

But now the move proved to be smart because Swansea finally got more money from selling James to a club as big as the red devil.

When the offer of the red devil came, Swansea not only felt James was too good in the Championship. The Welsh team are also convinced that James is worthy of strengthening the top Premier League clubs

This is as conveyed directly by Graham Potter. Potter said that James deserved to strengthen elite Premier League teams and his ability is not inferior to Manchester City's Kyle Walker or fellow Wales player Gareth Bale.

His move was also praised directly by the idol, Ryan Giggs. According to the legend, joining MU not only gave James the chance to appear at the highest level of English soccer competition. But this new adventure also guides the player's steps to follow his success.

In addition, his move to Old Trafford also changed his fortune. Evidently, his salary rose to 17 times compared to before. If previously he was only paid 72 million rupiah per week, now James gets a salary of more than 1 billion rupiah per week.

MU's interest in James is not without reason. In addition to its exceptional quality, James is also considered a super fast player.

In certain moments, James is able to show his teeth by passing the opponent using his speed. In fact, many people think that James has a speed that is almost similar to Arjen Robben.

In addition, several parties also said that the world had just the arrival of the new Kylian Mbappe.

Remarkably again, the 21-year-old player is considered to have the speed of a Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt. This was conveyed directly by the Hungarian national team manager, Marco Ross.

With the rise of James's fame, there is no denying that many women are captivated by his charm. Although many began to love him, James remained loyal to his lover, Ria Hughes.

Ria Hughes is one of the women behind James' success. He continues to provide support for his lover to struggle in realizing his dream.

Because they already love each other, the two of them were married in December 2017. From starting to struggle at Swansea City, Ria Hughes seemed increasingly attached to her lover who is now a Manchester United footballer.

If you look into James personally. This Welsh man is a very smiling figure. James is known as a player with a jolly character. He always smiles and easily adapts to several different people's characters.

His jovial character is proven when he takes a picture in front of the White House, United States. One of the photos that showed him wearing a black shirt looks perfect with a wide smile.

Also note that the photo is not just any photo. James is known to be a big fan of former American president, Barrack Obama.

Despite being a famous footballer, James remains a humble figure. Unlike other popular footballers, James still chose to live with his wife in a simple and not too big house.

James reasoned that he did not want to waste money and chose to become an ordinary person.

One thing that is quite interesting from Daniel James is, although he has joined Manchester United and idolized a Ryan Giggs, he wants to be a player like Raheem Sterling.

In an interview, James once admitted he wanted to be like Raheem Sterling, the attacking wing of rival club, Manchester City. Not just fast, Sterling is also able to improve his ability to score goals under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.
