Depay: I'm a team player

Depay: I'm a team player
The Manchester United winger has acknowledged his form is "not very good" at present, but rejected suggestions he is selfish
Netherlands winger Memphis Depay has rejected Danny Blind's suggestion that he is not a team player and insists he is working as hard as ever to rediscover his best form.

The 21-year-old inspired PSV to the Eredivisie title last season but has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since joining Manchester United for €27.5 million during the summer.

Netherlands boss Blind claimed last week that Depay "does not always function for the team" but still included the the forward in his squad for the upcoming friendlies with Wales and Germany.
"When I spoke to Danny Blind [after linking up with Netherlands], it was a very good conversation," the Red Devils forward told NOS.

"I think I’m a team player and the other players in the team also think that.

“I don’t think I’m in a difficult path of my career, as the media says. I just think my form isn’t very good right now.

"But I'm still working hard and, just because I'm not displaying the same form that I showed at the World Cup or last season, it doesn’t mean that I'm not working hard.

"I feel good again right now and other people don’t see what I’m doing in the training , so people think I’m not busy with football.

"But that’s not true."
