Daniel james is set to join Leeds for £30million to make way for Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford as Manchester United explore ways of giving the Portugal star his iconic No.7 shirt. James, a £15m signing from Swansea two years ago, made the last of his 74 appearances for United at Wolves on Sunday. Many saw how James' loan move from Swansea to Leeds collapsed with minutes left of the transfer window in 2019. Amazon Prime's 'Take Us Home: Leeds United' documentary showcased extraordinary never-before-seen footage of the botched transfer - with the deal pulled by Swansea very late on. Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford has encouraged West Ham to revive their interest in Jesse Lingard, and Sportsmail understands that talks re-opened with the player’s camp on Sunday night.
