Robin van Persie warned Man Utd that Donny van de Beek might have to “mentally adjust” to his new surroundings before his imminent arrival at Old Trafford.
The Dutchman has been widely reported to have completed a medical examination ahead of a £ 40 million move likely to be announced in the next few days.
Van Persie knows exactly what it takes to perform in Man Utd and the former forward is interested in seeing how his compatriot performs in “a beast of a club.”
MAILBOX: Van de Beek will allow the change of position that the Man Utd star needs
“Donny van de Beek is 23 and that is a good age to transfer to the Premier League,” Van Persie said. The Telegraph.
“I was a little younger when I went to Arsenal, and in the dressing room, they considered me a player of the future. Winning the UEFA Cup with Feyenoord meant nothing. The Premier League is a completely different world.
“Donny will be brought in as a major purchase to Manchester United, but he will find that those 22 other players have also been brought in as a ‘major purchase’. One had an even greater transfer than the other.
“It means you have to stand there right away and you have to mentally adjust to that. Because Manchester United is in every way a beast of a club. “
Van Persie added: “Physically I don’t foresee any problems for Donny. His walking actions are his greatest weapon.
“He can also play sixty games a year. Easy games no longer exist. Especially against Fulham or Crystal Palace, you have to play more. In every duel, even every throw, those opponents hit you.
“He has the advantage that he has gained a lot of experience in the last two seasons in Europe.
“The year Ajax reached the semi-finals of the Champions League was their breakthrough.”
