Dutch international Arjen Robben has called on his compatriot Memphis Depay to 'show strength and the right mentality' as his fights for his place at club and international level.

Depay has received limited first team action since arriving at Manchester United this summer and was left out of the Dutch squad for upcoming friendly matches against Wales and Germany.

"Of course I will give him advice. We try to help each other as players and the team to make steps," Robben said.

"He is a talented player in a difficult situation - I can give him advice but the player has to cope with it, show strength and the right mentality. It is important in your development as a player. It is not always sunshine and you have difficult periods, especially when you are young.

"He has a long way ahead and if he shows the right mentality, the talent is there. If he keeps working hard I am sure he can succeed."
