# Manchester United: Fans laud Daniel James’ comments on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

**Daniel James has praised the impact of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on his development as a player, in an exclusive with [NBC Sport](https://www.nbcsports.com/video/inside-mind-man-uniteds-daniel-james-reflects-breakout-season).**

James gave an insight into Solskjaer’s management style as part of the television network’s premier show, ‘Inside the Mind.’

Speaking to NBC, the Welshman said: “He’s been unbelievable with me and I’ll always thank him for that. I never expected him to have that belief in me at the start of the season and when things haven’t gone so well for me.”

He added: “When I’m down he always picks me up and the other players.”

The youngster went on to [heap praise](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/james-fernandes-man-utd-news-18202326) on his teammate Bruno Fernandes as well as discussing life under lockdown rules.

Ever since he arrived at Old Trafford from Swansea City for [£15.3m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-james/profil/spieler/319301) last summer, the 22-year-old has been [backed](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-transfer-news-james-16386123) to reach the top level of the game, and he has scored 3 goals in his first full season in the Premier League, and provided the [highest amount of assists](https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1242561828623978497) in the English top flight for Solskjaer’s side so far.

His current market value is estimated at £20m via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/daniel-james/profil/spieler/319301).

As expected, lots of United supporters raved over his comments on social media, with one fan remarking “the Prem ain’t ready.”
