James was signed by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2019 from Swansea City following a referral from his at-the-time Wales manager Ryan Giggs, a United club legend.
Although he started life at Old Trafford promisingly, scoring three goals in his first month at the club, the speedy winger has been unable to establish himself as an important first-team regular.
This season, however, James started two of United's first three Premier League matches, but his playing time was expected to be cut drastically short due to the return of Cristiano Ronaldo.
