getty2Manchester United unveil new signing Daniel JamesJames, who came through Swanseas academy, has become Ole Gunnar Solskjaers first signing in charge of the Red Devils on the back of a brilliant campaign in the Championship scoring five goals and providing ten assists.Johnson knows all too well about the pressures of making a career-defining move at such a young age, having traded West Ham for Chelsea when he was just 19 becoming the first signing of the Roman Abramovich era at Stamford Bridge.Although he only spent four years with the Blues, the right-back went on to win the Premier League title and League Cup before moving on to Portsmouth and then Liverpool.James has moved to Manchester during a time of transition for United, and finding his feet in the squad which is set for huge upheaval this summer will not be easy. And, asked what his advice would be for the youngster, talkSPORT pundit Johnson said on Thursday: Obviously its a fantastic opportunity for the young lad.As long as he continues to want to progress and become the best player he can be and not take anything for granted, Im sure things can be successful for him.A lot of people could get that big move to a big club and maybe rest of their laurels a little bit and take their foot off the gas.Manchester United officially confirm signing of Daniel James The track record of young players moving to Old Trafford in recent years has not be overly positive.Anthony Martial was hailed as one of the worlds most promising talents when he arrived from Monaco in 2015 and yet, while few can doubt his ability, he has frustrated fans and managers with his inconsistency.Wilfried Zaha is probably the most extreme example of how moving to a big club so early in your career could end in disaster.And Johnson highlighted the importance of building strong relationships and always having the right attitude when you first move to your new club.You need some chemistry, he added.Im sure [James] is a great lad and hopefully hell do well, but there are players out there when the relationships dont click, they can upset the manager in the early stages and you get a black mark against your name from day one.
