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."
