Manchester United attacker Daniel James reportedly edges closer to a summer exit, with Leicester City the frontrunners for his signature.

Manchester United attacker Daniel James is reportedly edging closer to a departure from the club in the summer transfer window.

The Wales international has largely failed to live up to expectations since arriving from Swansea City in 2019, starting just 10 Premier League games this season and notching up three goals.

James remains under contract at Old Trafford until the summer of 2024, but his lack of consistent game time has reportedly alerted potential suitors to his availability.

According to the Manchester Gazette, James is unlikely to be plying his trade at Old Trafford for the 2021-22 campaign, and Leicester City are at the front of the queue for his signature.

Following the emergence of Amad Diallo and potential summer deal for Jadon Sancho, James would not be expected to play a big part under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer next term, especially if Man United reach an agreement with Borussia Dortmund over Sancho.

The 23-year-old has scored nine goals and assisted eight more in 70 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions, and Solskjaer has confirmed that he will be involved in their final-day clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
