​Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has told the ​Daily Mirror that Manchester United could win the title this season, if Memphis Depay performs as well as he's capable of doing.





Robben plays alongside the 21-year-old at international level for the Netherlands and seems in awe of the United youngster's talent, and also backed ex-Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal to get the best out of him.





“He can become one of the top players in the world at Manchester United," Robben claimed. “He is already at such a high level, but playing at one of the biggest clubs in the world he will get even better. Manchester United will want to get back to winning trophies, and he will be a big part of that.









“I know that there was ­Liverpool and Manchester United ­interested in him, but it was an easy decision for him. There would have been no reason for him to join a club not playing in the Champions League, and Louis van Gaal is one of the best coaches in the world."





United's summer signing could have even more on his plate after the club failed to complete the transfer of Pedro from Barcelona, the Spaniard now looking set to sign for Premier League rivals Chelsea, but Robben seems to think that Memphis has the talent to do the job.





“Memphis can become the complete player under his ­[Van Gaal's] guidance. It will not be easy, it never is when there are so many new players to settle him, but I think Louis could win the league with Manchester United this year. It’s his team now, his players, and if the new signings settle quickly, I think it’s possible.”









United left-back Luke Shaw was full of praise for his teammate too, saying: “He’s working so hard in training. He was really trying to get that first goal. Now he’s off the mark, hopefully it can bring him many more goals.





“I think our relationship is starting to build up. We have played a couple of games together and I’m starting to understand how he wants to play. It’s great to be playing with him, he can beat a man and he likes the attacking support from me as well, which is something I like to do.”
