​PSV Eindhoven coach lauds Man Utd signing Depay

PSV Eindhoven coach Phillip Cocu is convinced Memphis Depay will be a success for Manchester United this season.

Cocu got the best out of Depay at PSV last year, where he scored 22 league goals for the club.

"It's normal you need some time to grow, you need a lot of games," the PSV boss said on the eve of his team's Champions League game against United at the Philips Stadion.

"Physically he's very strong and he's a quick learner also. And I'm sure when he gets some time he'll get it very fast. He will bring goals.

"He's a very vertical player who always likes to play towards the goal. Not only will he score goals, he has good vision.

"He will have some ups and downs. I'm sure when he's been playing a few months, I'm convinced he'll get better and better."
