Ferguson wants to hold onto James
James has made 16 appearances for Preston North End scoring twice and although Darren had contemplated a permanent move, it is thought he will now opt for another loan.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Ferguson said:
“I am looking to extend Matty’s loan for another year and I think that will get done. We still have two games left and I have already had one meeting with the board, but we’ll probably have to have one or two more to decide exactly where we are going to go.”
James is just one of a number of United stars that have impressed whilst out on loan including Tom Cleverley, Zoran Tosic and DanWelbeck before injury cut short his spell Deepdale.
