Gary Neville says new Manchester United signing Memphis Depay will bring pace, goals and movement to the club, but must be given time to settle.
The Dutchman is set to join United when the next transfer window opens in June, subject to a medical in a deal which Sky sources believe to be worth £25m.
And Neville, speaking on Monday Night Football, says the 21-year-old will fit in at United, who he believes should always focus on their wing play.
"They do need strength in that area. So what United are buying is potential, obviously someone who has scored goals in the Dutch league, but looking at some of the clips, I think Dutch skilled wingers for me are by far the best at understanding their position.
"In terms of his pace, his touch, his ability to score goals, his good movement... it is all about whether he can settle down in Manchester.
"He'll need some time and can transfer that ability he has shown for PSV into Manchester United. It is a completely different field.
"He's got a lot of different facets to his game, he's got a lot of different things in his armour."
Neville, who won eight Premier League titles at the club, says it is the Manchester United way to play with wingers, an area he believes has been a "struggle" on occassions this term.
"For me I am excited as a United fan in the sense that he is a wing player. For me, Manchester United should play with wing players.
"Wingers who beat people, players who take people on, who put crosses in the box, who score goals, and he is exciting. In wide areas this season it has been a bit of a struggle at times."
