Ramsey is keen to play alongside the United star at London 2012 after the pair were named in Team GB's squad.

"It will be a good experience and a different experience to play in the Olympics, being part of a British team and playing alongside some of the English players too," he told the club’s official site.

"And of course Ryan Giggs will be there too. He retired from international football before I got into the Wales team and he’s an absolute icon in Welsh football. He’s done it all and most players would like to play alongside him so hopefully I’ll get my chance.

"I can certainly learn from him while I’m with the Great Britain squad."

"I’m delighted to be a part of it," he added on being named in Team GB's squad. "Playing in the Olympics will be a great experience and I am looking forward to it so much. It’s fair to say that this could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

"I haven’t played under Stuart Pearce before so that is something to look forward to as well. And looking at the squad of players we have I think we have a lot of quality in there.

"Now we need to work together over the next few weeks and get an understanding of each other. If we do that then I’m sure we can do well, especially with home advantage."
