With a Marcus Rashford double and Anthony Martial strike Welshman James was brought on after 74 minutes with his side sitting pretty three goals up.
A counter attack led by Paul Pogba saw the French World Cup winner put new arrival James in on goal.
The 21-year-old slotted home with a strike from inside the box after it deflected off Emerson past keeper Kepa.

It was unsurprising with his perfect debut coming after an emotional couple of months.
It comes two months after the tragic death of his father, which occurred just before the winger’s £15million move from Swansea.
MAKING DAD PROUD
James' father Kevan had been ill but the death in May came as a devastating shock to the winger's family.
The 21-year-old paid respect to his late dad after scoring the winning penalty against AC Milan in pre-season.
