Robben claims Memphis needs time to be a success at Man United

Arjen Robben, who lifted the Premier League twice with Chelsea, has claimed that his international team-mate Memphis Depay will be a big hit in England if they give him time at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven at the end of last season, but has had a rather disappointing debut season in England, scoring only two goals in 27 Premier League appearances.

However, Robben believes the youngster possesses the ability to be a success at United, claiming that the club and fans need 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 told 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.”
