Simon Jordan believes the signing of Daniel James from Swansea is the positive change of direction Manchester United needed after years of silly spending.The 21-year-old Swansea winger is expected to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaers first summer signing after agreeing a 15million transfer from the Welsh club.
2James has been hailed as an old-school signing for United due to his lightning pace on the flank, and has been tipped for a bright future at Old Trafford.Former Crystal Palace owner Jordan believes the young Welshman may struggle for first-team football initially, just like Wilfried Zaha did when he left the Eagles to join United in 2013.But Jordan believes his imminent arrival at Old Trafford is a massive step in the right direction for the club, having blown millions on flopped big-money signings in recent years. I think this is exactly the kind of move Manchester United should be making, Jordan told talkSPORT on Thursday.I think United are going to spend an unprecedented amount of money this summer to be able to bridge the gap, and its a risk because think theyve got the wrong manager in place.I also think this move is a risk for the young player to take his career and maybe find himself on the periphery of the first team for a significant part of the season.

Moyes has to play with what he's got. Until we get investment in (and I don't know whether it's out there or BK is digging in), it's likely that he'll have to stick to one or two 'quality' additions per year, plus some potentials for the future. (No, I don't know why he signed Davies either. AvdM I could forgive him for taking the chance).
