Manchester United‘s only signing so far this summer Daniel James is gearing up for his first Premier League campaign with a little pre-season training in Dubai.

The former Swansea City player posted a video on Twitter that shows him being put through his paces under the scorching sun in Dubai.

James is training with Kaizen 3 Performance, a company that conducts off-season training for professional athletes and tweeted a clip on Sunday that revealed their work with the Welsh winger in Dubai.

The 21-year-old has signed a five-year contract, with the option to extend for a further year, to become manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first signing at Old Trafford.

The deal is worth a reported £15 million plus add-ons.

James, a graduate of the Swansea academy, scored five goals and made 10 assists in 38 appearances during an impressive 2018-19 campaign in which he broke into the Championship side’s first team.

Another United youngster in Scott McTominay has also been spotted training in Dubai with images of his workout take in front of the iconic Burj Al Arab.
