New Manchester United signing Memphis Depay believes his new club can challenge for the Barclays Premier League title this season.
Depay, a £25million signing from PSV Eindhoven, was introduced at an Old Trafford press conference on Friday afternoon.
His United manager Louis van Gaal has already warned Depay that he will find life in the Premier League tough, despite believing he has signed one of the top players of his age in Europe.

But a player tipped by many to be a sensation in England did not appear short of confidence. Asked if United can win the title, Depay said: 'Oh yes, for sure.
'We have a lot of quality, we just have to find our way. The team has all the quality to win the title. All the trophies are possible.'
Depay was snared by United under competition from other clubs at the end of last season and the transfer formally went through when the summer trading window opened earlier this month.
He will join his new team-mates on pre-season tour of America on Monday and hopes to hit the ground running.
'I think I can score goals here, for sure,' the Dutch international added. 'I will work on that and I believe in that.
'I am excited about coming here to do my job and score goals. I am a striker so I have to score goals.'

Van Gaal was generous in his praise for his new signing, referring to him as one of the best talents of his age
Van Gaal revealed that he may well play Depay as a striker rather than in is usual wide position and also suggested that he may not even buy another centre forward to replace Robin van Persie who is on the verge of joining Fenerbahce.
'He is one of the few talented players of his age,' said the United boss. 'He is one of the greatest of his age. He is full of confidence as you can see.
'He will notice that it's not so easy here, that it is a lot harder than in the Dutch league. There is always pressure on the ball. The physical resistance is high. I have told him that so we will see how he thinks.'
