Man Utd ‘play better without Daniel James’ claims expert
Everton signing Daniel James in January would be a "sensible" transfer, but Manchester United have been tipped to block the move. James made an instant impact at Old Trafford after joining from Swansea in 2019 with three goals in his first four matches.
But the former Sunderland and Southampton striker believes United will block any attempts from Everton to sign James.
“When he went to United last season he was buzzing and full of life but he hit a brick wall," Phillips told Football Insider.
“He has fallen away a bit but he is a young lad. He is going to have tough periods.
“I would like to see him stay and fight for his place at Manchester United but his involvement this season suggests to me that he is not really a big part of Solskjaer’s plans.
