“The manager’s made his mark on that, with United allowing Di Maria to leave,” Robson said. “United look as if they’ve got good value with Depay, but only time will tell.
“He’s impressed me in preseason. He’s quick, strong and looks as if he’s a good finisher. He’s going to be a big plus for United as far as I see it, but you can’t get carried away with friendly games.
“It’s when the season starts that the real business happens. Can he deliver then? Like I say, only time will tell, but he has got the potential, there’s no doubt about that.”
Robson went on to comment that the 13-time Premier League champions must be vary of their Champions League qualifying round opponents or face another season without top-tier European football.
“United still have hard work to do yet because they have to win the playoff game to get into the Champions League,” Robson added. “Everyone around the club will be looking forward to that, but the lads can’t slack off.
“They’ve got a big job to do in that playoff game, but hopefully they’ll be back in Europe challenging the best. I’m sure the lads will be looking forward to playing in the Champions League again.”
United will be playing Tottenham Hotspur in the season opener on Saturday this weekend, with Depay expected to start on the wing for Louis van Gaal’s men.
