Not just current players but former Manchester United striker Robin van Persie, one of the many great Dutch players to have taken the Premier League by storm, was happy for the youngster, and stated: “Donny will be brought in as a major purchase from Manchester United, but he will discover that those other 22 players have also been brought in as a ‘major purchase’. One had an even bigger transfer than the other, It means that he has to stand there right away and he has to mentally adjust to that. Because Manchester United is in every way a beast of a club."

Meanwhile, Ajax and their players put out farewell tweets and asked Manchester United to take care of one of their star players. Man United icon and current Ajax chief executive officer Edwin van der Sar penned an open letter, asking Man United to take care of the Dutchman while wishing him luck at his new club.
