"Giggsy, as soon as I came into the Wales set-up, had ambitions for me," James claimed.
"The way he brought me and a lot of other youngsters through has been amazing.
"He wasn't a bad player was he? What he did at Manchester United was amazing. Every young winger looks up to a person like him.
"It is amazing for me, when I go away on internationals, to learn from people like him. He is obviously someone I aspire to be like."
The youngster has set the bar high in terms of what he wants to achieve for United and hopes that he can emulate a career similar to what Giggs accomplished at Old Trafford.
Giggs appeared for the Red Devils a staggering 963 times over a 24 year period, scoring 168 goals in the process. He won 15 trophies for United, including 13 league titles and two Champions League trophies.
The 21-year-old will look to get up to speed during United's pre-season tour so that he can hit the ground running once the Premier League campaign begins in August.
