Some Leeds United fans are warning Daniel James against joining rivals, Manchester United.

Sky Sports claimed earlier on Friday that Manchester United are close to signing the Swansea City winger for £15 million.

James was on the cusp of becoming a Leeds player in January, agreeing terms and even completing a medical at the Championship promotion candidates, before Swansea blocked his exit.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the Whites remain hopeful of concluding a deal should they win the play-offs.

And the following Leeds supporters believe James would be better off snubbing Manchester United and moving to Elland Road…

Those knocking #LUFC policy over Dan James transfer I’ll just say one thing Seth Johnson also James would be stupid to sign for scum or citeh if he wants to play regularly not just inflate his bank balance smarter to sign for #LUFC if promoted & play under Bielsa

James will not play for Man U, not a chance. Why does the FA allow teams with so much money offer far more than they’re worth just to destroy their career? This is destroying football in my opinion, James career is over. https://t.co/eZxKy3nXkP

Find myself feeling sorry for @Daniel_James_97 if he does sign for Man U he will just be another bench warmer before being sent out on loan somewhere, I hope I’m wrong as I think the lads a good player and has a lot of talent but can’t help but think that would be the wrong move.

I don’t get why @Daniel_James_97 would go to Man U. Not because I’m a leeds fan, I completely get why he’d go premiership, big club, but there must be much better places to go. They have a stupid amount of wingers at scum, whereas could smash league at Bournemouth or us if get up

Meanwhile, others of a Leeds persuasion have directed their anger at their club’s owner Andrea Radrizzani.

another disappointment… This was a gigantic failure from @andrearadri and Leeds. There is a key word here and it’s a word who made Leeds what it is today in the ‘Championship’ : #money

Writing on Twitter earlier on Friday, the Italian hit back at once such detractor, however.

Jake, I don’t know how to explain it anymore…I could try in Chinese if you prefer 🙂 ..::the Deal was done and agreed between owners !! What should I have done more ? Enjoy the game and support the lads who have been working very hard since July

James, a product of Swansea’s academy system, only made his league debut for the club at the start of this season.

The 20-year-old has scored or made 16 goals in 39 games and found the net on his first Wales start earlier this year – managed of course by the legendary former Manchester United winger, Ryan Giggs.
