Daley Blind is enjoying playing alongside his Holland team-mate Memphis Depay at Manchester United, saying that the 20-year-old is a "real personality" who has already settled in well with his new squad at United.

Depay joined from PSV for £25m this summer, and opened his account for United last week in the 3-1 Champions League play-off first-leg win over Club Brugge, in which he scored twice.

Blind, who signed from Ajax last summer, says he has no doubts the 21-year-old will be a huge success in the Premier League.

"He’s settled in very well. You can see he has a lot of talent, he’s very strong and quick and a real personality," Blind told manutd.com. "He dares to show himself which is very positive and he’s a really good guy who gets along with everyone.

On what advice he should give Depay, Blind,25, added:

"Just to enjoy it as much as you can. Of course you’re focused on giving the best performance you can every day in training and in matches, but it’s important not to put yourself under too much pressure and make sure you enjoy moments like when you play at Old Trafford for example. I’m also not sure he needs my advice as he is a real personality! [Laughs] He knows what he can do and has a lot of faith in himself and that’s a good way to be at a club like United."
