Depay moved to Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven during the summer for £25million but has failed to live up to expectations.
Arjen Robben has warned compatriot Memphis Depay that life is "not always sunshine" in the Premier League - but believes he has what it takes to succeed.
Depay moved to Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven during the summer for £25million but has failed to live up to expectations.
The 21-year-old has scored just four times in 16 games for his new club, and has been warned he needs to lead a more mature lifestyle away from the pitch by Ryan Giggs.
Depay has even lost his place int he side to Jese Lingaard of late, and recently admitted he had put on 5kg in weight since moving to England.
Bayern Munich star Robben, who spent three years with Chelsea before leaving for Real Madrid, conceded that Depay was not performing to his potential - but insisted he would be willing to offer him advice.
"Of course I will give him advice," said Robben. "We try to help each other as players and the team to make steps.
"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."
