Memphis Depay will be a success at Manchester United if he is given time at Old Trafford, according to his Netherlands team-mate Arjen Robben.
The 22-year-old has endured a difficult maiden season in the Premier League since joining the club from PSV Eindhoven last summer, scoring just two goals in 27 Premier League appearances.
Robben, though, believes that Memphis has the ability to make a success of his move to England, and has called on fans to be patient.
“He’s a very talented player, but you can’t underestimate how big a step it is up to the Premier League, and especially to a big club like Man United,” he said, speaking to Match of the Day magazine.
“He’s still very young – you have to give him some time. The talent is there – he’s got everything that he needs to be a success in England.”
Robben knows what it takes to succeed in the Premier League, having twice won the trophy while at Chelsea, in 2004-05 and 2005-06.
