MANCHESTER UNITED star Daniel James was pictured enjoying time out with his girlfriend Ria Kate Hughes after impressing in pre-season.
The loved-up pair were seen out strolling around in Cheshire and getting used to their new surroundings after James signed from Swansea for £15million this summer.

The pair have been dating for two years, and own a home just outside Cardiff together.
Ria is a sports instructor by trade and works at a local gymnastics club.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer handed the 21-year-old winger five starts in pre-season with the Welshman coming on from the bench against AC Milan in United's final friendly.
James was involved in all six off his club's pre-season games, winning every game, and has been living up to Welshman Ryan Gigg's with his speed down the wing.
United were held 2-2 against Milan at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, but James scored the winning penalty.
James was Solskjaer's first signing of the season and SunSport revealed the 21-year-old stunned his new United team-mates by topping their pre-season fitness test.
Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka soon followed James after arriving from Crystal Palace in a £50m deal.
The pair have since been joined by centre-back Harry Maguire - who finally completed his £85m transfer to Old Trafford.
Maguire had pleaded with Leicester all summer to secure his move to Manchester, and the Englishman became the world's most expensive defender.
United are still in the market for a midfielder, with Sporting Lisbon ace Bruno Fernandes top of their wishlist.
