Gyliano van Velzen has had his youth contract at Manchester United ended, following three years at the Old Trafford set-up.
Van Velzen made the move to England in 2010 whilst still a trainee at Ajax, and earned four appearances in the reserve leagues over his first two seasons.
He failed to make the grade to the first eleven this season and is currently looking for opportunities in his native Holland.
However, Van Velzen insists he is leaving the Premier League champions with happy memories, and having become a more "mature player".

"I’m only nineteen years old and have spent the past seasons playing in the youth system", he told Voetbal International.
"The important thing now is that I’m going to play in the first team. There are many competitions in the Netherlands where I think I will be best suited for.
"I have learned a lot in England. I have trained regularly with the club here and I think I’ve become a mature player."
The striker has had previous experience of playing first-team football when he was loaned out by Manchester United to Belgian second division side Antwerp.
He made the move in September last year and went on to play 12 times, scoring one goal and making two assists.
