Daniel James has revealed the Manchester United squad joked he would need a booster seat for his car during his first training session with his new teammates.

The 21-year-old was one of the stand out performers in the Championship last year prompting United to spend £15million to bring him to Old Trafford during the summer transfer window.

James has settled into life at the club well and enjoys a prominent role in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The youngster has revealed he quickly became the brunt of a joke during his first day at the Carrington training complex after he was pictured driving his car.

James revealed that United players joked he needed a booster seat because the image looked as though he could barely see over his steering wheel.

"I think a photograph got taken the first day I drove my car in," he told Sky Sports.

"I think it was Andreas [Pereira] who put it in the chat.

"I think I was just over the steering wheel - but it was because I was looking left and right!

"Ever since then the boys have said I need a booster seat for the car."

The Wales international is known for his blistering pace, leading to suggestions he could be the fastest player in the squad.

However, James feels he isn't as fast as people think and it would take a race to determine who is faster out of him and Marcus Rashford.

He added: "Sometimes I don't think I'm as quick as people say.

"When you look at me and [Marcus] he always says I'm quicker. I know a few of the boys said we need to have a race and maybe one day we will."

Asked if he would win, James laughed: "Yeah, I'd probably just edge it."
