Former Manchester United defender Denis Irwin has said that Memphis Depay can have a similar influence that David Beckham had during his time at the club.
The 21-year-old scored his first goal for the club in a pre-season friendly against San Jose Earthquakes and Irwin thinks he will be a constant threat from set pieces.
"I think Memphis could match Becks in that sense," Irwin told the club's official website. "I saw him score a few goals last year for PSV and I think he will be a big addition to our team.
"It's still early days yet, but there's no doubt that he has a lot of talent. He brings that unpredictability and we don't possess too many players like that.
"His records will tell you that, even though he's young, he's a goalscorer as well, having scored 28 goals last year in Holland. We've already seen how good he is at finishing, so I think he'll become a big player for us even though he's young."
Manchester United have also signed Bastian Schweinsteiger, Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Sergio Romero this summer.
